Our Garden

One of the reasons we bought our house was because it already had a garden plot. Still, the ground needed a lot of weeding and tender loving care before it was ready for planting. Now our hard work is paying off and our garden is growing fabulously! We are so excited for fall to come so we can harvest all the yummy things that we grew ourselves.

Here's a picture of our garden out our bedroom window. The big green plants you see growing are lettuce.

Another shot of the lettuce with our butternut squash plants in the background. Also, the other smaller plants next to the lettuce are spinach.


Zucchini plants....

We had a lot of volunteer onion plants come up. In front of them our two of our pumpkin plants.

Another shot of the garden. In total, we planted pumpkins, watermelon, carrots, zuchini, peppers, tomatoes, squash, lettuce, spinach, jalepenos, and corn.
Bonus Pic: When we were trimming the yard yesterday we cut down these bushes. I thought they were so pretty that I put them in our watering can on the porch. I think they make our entry look bright and happy!

Very cute! I love it. Hope it is a great harvest for you. I'm a little gealous. Wish we had some land.

I want some corn on the cob! And I love the watering can. Leda, I am amazed at the way you can take "throw aways" and turn them into something beautiful.
