Adventures in Gardening/Pictures of our Garden
(visit Memphis Misfit Mama to view original post and leave comments)
Well, all this gardening stuff is very new to me. My dear husband has a family history of gardening and decided to try it out for himself last summer.
He saw a man at Home Depot buying tomato plants and thought, "I can do that", and bought some. He then also planted squash, peppers, and beans. Well, the only thing that really grew well was the squash. We had squash coming out of our ears!
He has been inspired to try to eventually have a big enough garden to be able to sustain our family. He was inspired by this book:
This whole past year my DH has been researching and learning about gardening. He ordered seeds in plenty of time to plant seedlings, and we have added lots of different things to the mix. We have also been composting all year so that we are able to use that in the garden this year.
Here is what we are planting this year:
Yellow squash, tomatoes, spaghetti squash, butternut squash, peppers, lettuce, broccoli, green beans, sweet potatoes, red potatoes, blueberries, and strawberries. We are also planting flowers to attract good bugs to eat the bad bugs. Our goal is to have a completely organic garden.
DH planted the seedlings a few weeks ago and we have already had to transfer the green beans to a big bucket. The strawberries and blueberries came to us as plants and he planted those right away.
Here are some pictures:
What about you? What are you planting in your garden this year?
