The Garden is Back!

We have planted the garden -- actually I should say Casey planted it. I was no help this year. I can hardly bend over, much less dig a whole! Haha! We have some new additions in the garden this year. Last year we had 2 jalapeno plants, a green bell pepper plant, tomato plants, a strawberry plant, and cucumber seeds. Last year all went well except the strawberry plant. This year we have planted carrot seeds, sweet banana pepper seeds, 1 jalapeno plant, 1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, 2 tomato plants, cucumber seeds, and a watermelon plant! It will be fun to watch them grow! It is especially neat to watch the seeds sprout up - last year the cucumber seeds took over and we had tons of cucumbers. Another big "hit" were the jalapeno plants, so that's why we only got one of those plants this year. I'll be sure to update you on our veggie growing! :)
If you're wondering what the big brown rock is at the back…it shocks Lucy if she gets close to the garden. Don't worry, she no longer goes close to the garden ;)
I know the tomato plants are small now, but they grow taller than the tomato ladders around them!!
Happy Gardening!

i love the garden! I wanted one so bad, but Jordan and I decided this old, salt water infested soil here probably wasnt the best to be growing things like that out of....so we decided to not go with the garden here, maybe our next place=) haha.
