If you plant it, it will grow!

I wasn't going to plant a garden this year because my garden area was so full of weeds and I knew it would take FOREVER and a sore back to get it all cleaned up. Well it did take FOREVER and a SORE back to get it ready, but it was worth it. Joe made a little sprinkler system for me so watering would be easier and fast.

My garden at two weeks old

My garden NOW!


My spinach!!!
I have already picked at least 6 gallon bags full! We have had tons of spinach salad, spinach on hamburgers on sandwiches and much much more!

My zucchini
big tomatoes

Tyler wanted to plant pumpkins so I put them in the back row so they wouldn't cover the other plants well they are getting so big they are growing into all the other rows!!!!!

One pumpkin leaf! Cherry tomatoes

Roma tomatoes

And one of the many things I have made with things from my garden. I have basil so I made pesto and the spinach was from my garden too! It tasted AWESOME. I have never made pesto before so that was fun and delicious.
