Deeply Rooted
A little over a month ago, I planted my first garden as an adult. I have fond memories of the produce my Mom grew when I was growing up (not so fond memories of all the weeding she made us do though). We moved into our current house about 1.5yrs ago but it required lots of work inside and out to get it to the point where we could even think of a garden. It's not as big or nice as I would like, but I figure every little bit of food we can grow ourselves helps. We have food planted in various places on our property and have plans to put more in when we get a little more work done. Here is our main garden space (where I learned that next time I will plant the melons somewhere else since they take up sooooo much space):
We have watermelon, cataloupe, bush beans, pole beans, jalapenos, and I recently added some cucumber and carrots.
Some beans that I picked this morning:
Hurray for jalapenos! Salsa here I come!
Some baby watermelon and cantaloupe:
The cucumber I planted about 5 days ago:
This patch is on one side of our driveway and I have a pumpkin, butternut, and acorn squash (also planted about 5 days ago):
Our tomatoes in a container on our front porch:
I just planted some corn on either side of our front walkway:
We also have a few trees, our plum only has two on it, our nectarine has none, but our apple has almost forty. They were all bare-root trees we planted about 6 months ago.
So far I am happy with what we have going. I want to add some berry bushes and I can't wait until I can plant some of the things that don't do as well here in the summer (Peas, lettuce, that sort of thing). I'm just thrilled that I am finally able to have a garden and looking forward to learning how to do a better job at it.
