An update on the GARDEN!


I have been so excited to post some new garden pictures that I couldn't wait any longer! My plan was to take pictures once a month so I could track how well things were growing but I jumped the gun a little here! It's only been about 2 1/2 weeks since the garden was planted but here's how well it's doing!


The watermelon's have grown lots of leaves! 

The peas are struggling...we bought some more today to add to this bunch.

The cucumbers have gotten twice the original size!

The onions have grown about an inch.

The most impressive, in my opinion, the corn growing a foot and then some! (one of them, at least)

Jalapeno peppers...growing some.

Honeydew is growing more leaves...

The planted strawberries, as opposed to the hanging ones!

Bell peppers growing big!

The blueberries finally got planted!

The new raspberry plant...VERY thorny!

A mostly dead pineapple plant we are trying to revive!

We found a catnip plant...and had to get it! Shaun has already shown the cats and they LOVE it!

Three of the 4 new plants...snow peas, stevia, and chocolate mint!


Two quick side notes here...
1. Because of the wind last night the garden is covered in leaves...no, we don't leave it that way! I was just so excited to take pictures I waited to pick up the leaves until after I had all the pictures taken.
2. I tried to add a picture of our first strawberry, but for some reason it won't load! Possibly the best picture yet! We finally have something growing AND producing! So excited for it to grow a little bigger so I can see if it actually tastes good too!


I'll post again in about a month and hopefully there will be more to our garden! David (my wonderful brother) was able to get me some pallets to use for planting, so we are hoping to plant our new plants in them very soon!
