How Does Your Garden Grow?
Mine grows. Or at least it is trying to. We have been having lots of boo-worthy weather here in Washington with little sunshine and little warmth. Not so ideal for gardeners (or anybody for that matter!).
Here's the before picture of my garden taken back in May (senior pose-style):
Here are more recent pictures of my garden:
Carrots
Green peppers - planted at the same time
(can you tell which one spent more time in the warmth and shelter of my porch?)
Heirloom tomatoes given by my friend, Phillip (in the cages). Roma tomatoes grown by me in between.
Since my peppers that had been planted in the plot earlier obviously didn't do so well, I decided to keep a few planted on my porch to see which ones do better in the end. Also, growing peppers was what I was most excited about, and they are probably doing the worst out of the entire garden. So I have two red pepper plants with one green pepper plant in the middle. You can tell I transplanted the green pepper into a bigger flower container before the red peppers...it actually had space to grow its roots. Now hopefully the red peppers will catch up (because I oh so love red peppers!).
It's a work in progress, but it is a lot of fun to see these plants - all but two - started from seeds in my kitchen and now growing into something soon-to-be edible.

2 phrases in this blog I like:
1)Boo-worthy weather
2)Soon-to-be-edible
I'm looking forward to fresh food from the garden as well. Yum!
