I love to garden. In the past few years it has sort of falling by the way side. However, I started this season gun ho. I grew some veggies by seed which I have not done before - carrots (2 varieties), bush beans, water melon and the all famous cucumbers. I only grew a hand full of each but realized that was even that was too many. How many cucumbers can two souls eat?? So, I gave some away to friends and family.
I also planted bib, red and romaine lettuce, red and sweet onions, heirloom tomatoes (7 varieties), heirloom and regular eggplant, sugar snap peas, broccoli, garlic, horseradish and the standard herbs - basil, flat leaf parsley, chives, Sweet mint, chocolate mint and greek oregano. Gosh this sounds like a lot once I typed it all out!
So far, so good. My hubby and I built 2 raised garden beds to house these veggies but after watching my yard this week I realized that it is not sunny enough. I have A LOT of trees in my yard, which for a gardener, is VERY annoying. My sunny space is extremely limited at the moment. At some point we are going to have more trees cut down but that's not in our cards yet. I broke thew news last night that we have to move them. Hubby laughed at me but we are moving them. He's such a good sport!
I also made 5 flower boxes for my deck railings this year. I love the way flowers travel down deck rails. Right now they are housing my lettuce which is growing fast and furious!
