Let me give you a tour....
Here is our tomato box. We actually planted them about 2 weeks ago during a break in the rain. I read online that to keep weeds down put down wet newspaper. We went one step farther and added some extra dirt just to keep the newspaper from flying away. I haven't seen any weeds here and it's been raining every day since we put these babies in. Maybe now that the sun is out they will start to take off. We also have 2 grape plants that reside in here as well.
First....let me just say I like to think I have a green thumb. However basil and I do not get along. We never have. The one pictured above on the left is trying to humor me... I think. We have my indoor oregano and basil. There are 2 pots in the kitchen window. The oregano LOVES it here.
My outdoor oregano with a Gerbera Daisy. I love having homedried oregano on hand. Just in case you were wondering. And I like the fresh smell.
Our pretty flowers inviting you to our house - which may or may not be clean depending on if people are actually doing their chores on any given day. So...come and be surprised! I know I will be! lol
Our garden plot. The white stuff all around is slug bait. I was all done and looking at what I did and I started laughing. Remember watching The Spiderwick Chronicles and the white stuff they had all the way around the house to keep the goblins out? This reminded me of that. Except we are keeping the slug goblins out of the garden and keeping the worms in.
Just another view. Russell was my knight in shining armor helping me till one more time and planting seeds and driving stakes into the ground.We are hoping to have a nice harvest of the following....
corn
pole beans
beets
cosmos flowers
broccoli
celery
carrots
zinnias
peas
eating cucumbers
strawflowers
zucchini
more zinnias
pickling cucumbers
lobelia
nasturtium flowers
jack-o-laterns for carving
summer squash
onions
chives
strawberries on the deck
tomatoes
grapes- won't be ready this year
I will be putting in pole peas on the deck. Need more soil first.

beautiful!
I would love such a large garden area.
Right now i have sugar snap pea, tomatoes, strawberries, mint, onions, pomegranate and peanuts growing.
They are all in tubs though so I am unsure if I will get a good crop or not.
Crazy!! I'm finding that basil hates me too. My rosemary looks great, but both of my basil plants are sad. I'm going to give them a little bit of time without rain and if they still look terrible I'll rip them out and replace them.
Someday I will have a garden... and perhaps I won't kill my plants...
