Finally Taking My Own Photo Challenge!

I'm finally posting pics of my garden... I know- it's about time! Let me tell you a few interesting things about my garden!

• Paxton dumped a pack of seeds, I think, on the corner there closest to the camera in the first picture. Pretty sure I didn't plant cantaloupe there! But luckily for the seeds, the connection rounding that corner leaks a little!
• I have some underground friends that like to eat tomato plants. They're probably eating my potatoes as well!
  
• I planted BUSH beans along the fence, not knowing for sure whether bush beans would climb or not. Apparently there was ONE pole bean in that seed packet, because I have one bean plant that has climbed to the TOP of my fence!
• Our family celebrates Zucchini Day OFTEN. In other words, don't forget to lock your car at church!
  

THIS is a picture of WHAT SUMMER tastes like! Fresh Sun-Sugar tomatoes,
fresh from the garden!

My Garden

Well this year we got our backyard done so our garden was planted a lot later than usual. It seems to be slow growing too. I love my backyard and my garden will not be as good this year but it is WELL worth it!

You really can't see the small green plants in this picture but everything is at least growing at this point. I did all of these by seed planted about a month ago. We will see how big they get! They are Cucumber, Lettuce, Marigolds, Green beans and Carrots 

This box has tomatoes and peppers

Here are our raspberries that we got from the Butlers. They are doing fabulous! 

 We have been eating off them for a couple of days now!

Here are my strawberries (from Lois) planted about a month ago and some pumpkins. 

How does your garden grow?

Here's a challenge for you all!
Take a photo of your vegetable or flower garden and post it here! Tell us what you planted, what has done well and what hasn't, and what you will do differently (if anything!) next year!
Ready, GO!

After the Gardening Class Last Night.....

I logged on the computer this morning and found this deal of the day at Target a compost bin for $59.99 + free shipping....
I don't know if it's decent, but the price seems good. I want the barrel kind, but they are $$$$. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested! It can be found HERE.

I really enjoyed the class last night and I'm very motivated to get working on our yard and garden. It would help if it would warm up!! Seriously!!
