My Garden
June 12, 2009
My wonderful husband built me a garden box for Mother’s Day this year and then my daughter and I filled it with wondeful veggies to eat this summer! This is only the second summer that I’ve grown food ( in my life ) after growing tomatoes in containers last summer. Well the veggies must love the new box and organic soil because they are growing like weeds! I planted all of this about 3 weeks ago and it’s going crazy! In the box, we planted cherry tomatoes, peas, beans, lettuce, onions, celery, summer squash, cucumbers, jalapeno peppers and orange bell peppers. All in one 3×11 box. Now I may have packed too much in there – I’m just learning – but the joy of seeing my daughter’s delight and learning while watching everything grow is wonderful and we can’t wait to start eating the veggies of our labor this summer!
You still have time to plant fruits and veggies this summer! If you don’t have the space for a box, it’s easy to grow things in containers. We started last summer with tomatoes only and it was so easy to grow them. You’ll find that your kids love going out to water and pick the fresh produce every day and I tell you – tomatoes from your garden are amazing compared to those in the store!
What are YOU growing in your garden?
