We're seeing a bit more green around here...
and its definitely not the grass!
The lonely corner of the yard that we were originally going to put a shed in...
has been turned in to a garden!
Back in the spring, Christopher was bitten by a bug...
no, not that one...the gardening bug!
And he spent (with a little help) hours and hours removing the crusher fine rock we had put there, breaking up the cement-like dirt that was underneath, and turning in two truckloads of compost and peat moss to add nutrients and drainage. After adding some seeds and a few small plants, then waiting a couple of weeks while watering and fretting checking in daily...voila!
We had a garden!
You can see the zuchinni and yellow squash plants popping up here...
and here is the corn...see? Look real close!
And just today, I remembered to take the camera out to record how the garden is doing now...
What a difference a month makes!
So much more is up and producing...
have you ever seen such a cute, tiny watermelon?
and just look at the corn now!
we're definitely planting the tomatoes further apart next year...
and the zucchini and yellow squash have already produced several!
the beans are taking off...
because of a watering snafu in the beginning, we ended up with two carrots...
they sure look healthy though!
All in all, a great garden this year!
And look what we have discovered wandering around the yard...
isn't it cute? I hope he/she is feasting on all the snails!
