My Growing Garden....


Like I said before... This is my first time with a garden!  I'm pretty proud of my self! I planted beans in both boxes and they only did good in one box.  The lettuce is HUGE and is ready to be pulled out.  The peppers are doing good and so is the broccoli.

My tomato plants are Beautiful! I have a little bit of some extra space and I'm thinking about planting a couple more tomato plants. 


The squash and zuccini are doing amazing as well!  I had a friend watering my garden while I was gone for a weekend and he didnt know not to water it in the middle of the day so the leaves are burnt. :(


Gardening is a piece of cake!  Way easier than I expected!  Thai had some wood laying around so he built two big boxes.  We put gravel in the bottoms of both of them for drainage.  For dirt we went to a local gardening store and bought dirt that has fertilizer in it.  As soon as my starters looked like they were ready I transfered them to the garden beds! I water them every morning before work and when its a really sunny hot day I sometimes water them at night before bed.  I use miracle grow fertalizer every two weeks. 
I have only run into a few bumps in the road... My puppies are hard to keep out of it... and we had an aunt and slug issue... but thank god for google!  I learned there are different herbs and flowers you can plant to keep certain bugs out of the garden and to fertalize other plants!  I will definetly be using that trick next year!  For this year I unfortunetly had to use some kind of bug killer that was garden safe.  Can't wait to start eating all of it! :)

My garden is planted!


told you it was a mud pit!
 So excited that I got all my little starters planted! I have zuchinni, squash, cucumber and green beans in one and then in the other I have more green beans, different kinds of lettuce, radish, broccoli, tomatoes, and hot peppers! I'm going to plant grape plants on that trellis back there here soon.... Can't wait to get grass planted, rock put down, and more plants planted! :)

Starting a garden....

Thai bought a house a couple of months ago and we love the house... but the yard is awful!  Its not even a yard.  One side of the house is gravel and then the rest is dirt and stumps sticking out of it.  We have no grass or plants at all.  Soooo... one of our projects to make the yard a little nicer is a vegetable garden. :)  Thai is going to build raised garden beds so its harder for Winston and Raz to get into them. We're going to put stone tile around the beds and plant flowers and plants around them too.  I have never had a garden so this might be interesting....  I went online and printed a list of what I want to plant, when to plant them, and what month to plant them but any advice would help so much!

some gardens I would LOOOOVE to have....
