Just thought I’d share a little of what I do when I’m not taking pictures or tending to children.
This year we decided to build our garden via the ‘gardening by the square foot’ method. Things are finally starting to grow and look like an actual garden! Today we ate our first peas (yep, we planted them late) and we have tomatoes and peppers that will be ready soon. We’ve already eaten all the lettuce (romaine and green leaf), which was great.
Here’s a shot of two of our four 4×4 boxes (it’s amazing what you can fit in them!). In these are tomatoes, sweet & hot peppers, basil, mint, marigolds, parsley (front box) and broccoli (those really tall plants in the front), squash,
cucumber, pumpkin, marigolds, thyme, rosemary and beans on the trellis (back box).
oh, and potted petunias to keep certain bean bugs away…
and a fun one of the chives from a box not pictured:
and this is mint, which we have growing EVERYWHERE, but I don’t mind…
