Gardening Excitement!

When we first moved to the "country", Ben wanted a garden. I said no way. The thought of getting my hands dirty was a foreign concept, and I wanted nothing to do with it.

Two years later, here we are. Last year we did a bunch of tomatoes and peppers, a few watermelons, and a few cantaloupes. This year we're hoping to vary things a little more.

This is what we have to work with:


There is 8 boxes total, plus the strawberry box:

Please excuse the weeds...

And then we have this "bed" right in front of the house next to the door. I've determined that this will be my herb bed, after a year of compost and mulching. The rocks will ring it (hopefully), and the tulips or whatever the heck those are have a date with the shovel, come fall. The bed actually stretches almost double to the left. It's pretty big.



These bulbs, as well, have a date with the shovel. But their estimated time of departure is, well, this weekend. Invaders!!!!


And these little guys were hanging out right outside our garden fence:


Kudos!
