Some garden pics


We moved our garden spot this year and it has been a good decision. Everything is filling out and doing so well. I took a few pics so you can see how it's coming along. I planted the seeds I harvested last year to save money but all but 3 died. Bummer. I think my excitement got ahead of me and I transplanted them too soon. Oh well. Another lesson learned. I also bought Early Girl tomato plants this year and they are doing so much better than the other varieties I have planted in the past 3 years. Hopefully I will get enough fruit to replenish my stock of canned tomatoes. I also learned that tomato plants do not like to be watered a lot so I haven't watered them as much. It appears to be working.

The pink tape around our garden is to keep our little Texas out. He was sneaking some green tomatoes to snack on. Silly dog.

Do you have a garden? If so, how is it doing this summer?

Your garden looks beautiful! Mine is pitiful this year. I ordered my plants from a fancy organic farm--and they were awful. And since I'm so pregnant...well, I look at my garden and say, "I really don't care."

Sad sad situation here at the Byers home.

Oh man....
maybe you will get something regardless. It's amazing how things like that will surprise you ;). You have a lot more to think about than a garden anyway ;)
