My Garden: An Update


Well it's been a while since I've shared about my garden! So long in fact, that back then, it looked like this:
That is, if you can even call that a garden. Now I've gotten a few grape tomatoes ripening...
Not to mention some GIANT cucumbers!
Also, this year I've learned the hard way that squash do not need tons of water. I was over watering them for a while, so now they are looking mostly dead. (Excuse my  The Princess Bride reference.) Also, I've learned that herbs don't need much water. Thankfully, all of them (except for the stevia plant) are 98% alive. 

So, do you have a garden? How is it doing (comment below)

Over in the Garden

Hey All,
For the past several years, I have had the rather fun job of upkeeping my family's garden. The fact that a tiny seed can sprout into hundreds of tomatoes, berries, squash, and so on just thrills me for some reason. This year so far, I am planting watermelon, several varieties of squash, LOTS of tomatoes, cucumbers, canteloupe, basil, and hopefully I can get my hands on some brussel sprout plants. . . . I also have a rhubarb plant that grows back bigger and bigger every year (hello pie and jam!). I'll keep y'all updated on the progress. Now, off to till.
