I cannot say enough how much I am in love with this paint color!! Do I sound obsessive? I kept saying it over and over as I was painting. But doesn't it just look like it belongs there in the yard? Love it. Find it here.
I set up a grid and tied a string at every 12 inches, because I think the square foot gardening technique
This is the extent of my herb garden. I have more, but they have to be planted in pots. Mom says the basil (left) is going to take over, but I saw that as a challenge to use it faster than it can grow. Also seen here is dill, curry, and sweet potato vine--which I know is not edible. It's actually semi-poisonous. But I'm really good at growing it and it's pretty.
Beets. Anyone know how to pickle?
Radishes. I don't think anyone in my family even likes radishes, but they are easy and fun to grow. You can harvest in 25 days from seed. Which is why they were a favorite of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
I know you are probably thinking, What the heck is that? That is an experiment. I read somewhere that the stumps of celery would grow if planted, so there they are! I'm skeptical, but if you look closely, there is a tiny bit of new growth right near the center.
And the onions. I planted these a little late, but I'm already happy I did. Because our first harvest of the year is onion chives!
Yum.
We also planted zucchini, yellow squash, cantaloupe, tomatoes, rainbow chard, carrots, and pickles.
Yes, pickles. We don't like raw cukes. Ew.
Can't wait to see how my garden grows. I just love walking out and checking on my newborn seedlings.
