Our Official Garden!

So back in March, we started some of our plants indoors. We had tomatoes and broccoli (leftover seeds from the year before) and then we bought these pod things from Target with spinach, lettuce, sweet peppers, and a different kind of tomato.

On Saturday, David and I started weeding the garden area (it was a big mess) since we didn't really end up using it last year (hence the leftover seeds). Today, we got a little farther but decided that with the heat, we better start planting in the area we had cleared or we might not finish. Turns out, everything (but the beans and cucumbers, which we aren't sure about planting) fit in our area!

We used shims as markers (with the vegetable names written on in Sharpie) so we know where the plants are for future weeding. Our rhubarb (came with the house) is thriving, even after mowing it over a couple times. Those sure are hearty plants! Our strawberries came back from last year, although we do have fewer of them. Sadly, we think our blueberries and raspberries died. I've been watering them anyway but David thinks it's too late for them.

So this year we have planted two different kinds of tomatoes (heirloom and cherry), broccoli, peas, onions, sweet peppers, lettuce, spinach, carrots, and sunflowers. Hopefully we get a good crop this year!
