Our Little Garden

The above pic was taken April 29th. This was the day after I planted the garden. The blank sections are seeds.

Contents: Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Cantaloupe, Sunflowers, Zucchini, Cucumbers, Vadalia Onions, Marjoram, Oregano, Garlic, Basil, and Thyme. I also have potatoes on the side.

This is what it looks like today! It's still alive!! Most of it is doing really well! The garlic is doing great(second section).

I planted potatoes here on the side. They took about a week or so to come up. I thought I had killed them! They are growing so tall! I need to put more soil on them. I've been told that wherever there is dirt a potato will grow! The tomatoes are looking good too! I have aphids! I found them yesterday. I have to work on getting rid of them this week! YUCK - BUGS!

This is my compost bin. I'm trying to learn this too! So far, so good. We throw our kitchen scraps in there with dirt and leaves and in a few weeks-months out comes beautiful fertile soil! It's just starting to "cook" in there. I've only got it half full so far. It's super easy and a good way to reduce our waste while making something useful for our garden!

This is an herb garden. In addition to the herbs I have in the ground, I'm starting this container. I have Rosemary, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Green Onion, Chives, Tarragon, Thyme, Oregano, and Radishes in here. The radishes are just starting to pop out of the soil. I just planted them 2 days ago.
I also have two bins on the back porch with potatoes growing in them!
