I am happy to report our little garden is still alive and even growing!!!
This first picture is what we started with the day we planted. We started with tomatoes, cucumbers, corn seed, strawberries, and carrots. The strawberries died of heat stroke the first week, but everything else is still alive and well.
Here is what our planter bed looks like all grown up.
Tomatoes. We have lots of little green tomatoes right now. Can't wait for them to ripen.
Jalapenos. These were planted after the strawberries died.
Carrots. I initially gave up on the carrots. We had planted the tiny little seeds too deep. I decided to plant sunflowers instead so when a dug around and moved the dirt some of the carrot seeds started to grow, so now there is not a pretty row of carrots they are just here and there.
I mentioned I planted sunflowers. I do have one that is growing but the rest of the seeds were eaten up by the birds. They would dig them up as fast as I planted them...very frustrating.
I planted some more corn on the side of the house. I have trouble keeping Amos from running over them when he is trying to catch all the robbers in the neighborhood.

That's great! It's so much fun to see it grow. I was watering ours this morning and noticed everything we planted is starting to come up...makes my mouth water thinking about all the fresh veggies.
Lookin good Farmer Alanna!!!!
Thanks!! I just noticed this morning my first tomato is starting to turn. It is orange today!! Yesterday we found our first ear of corn forming. This is new for all of us. I was wondering where the corn was going to form. Learn something new everyday.
