I thought my garden was doing well here. But look at it now! This is amazing! I did not expect it to do so well and produce as much food as it has already! If you want any zucchini bread let me know- I am quickly becoming an expert with finding new ways to use all this food. My new favorite thing is to give it away to neighbors and friends. I think I could take care of the veggie needs of the 6 homes on our little street! well, almost. :)
Beside me are green beans and snap peas which are almost as out of control as the zucchini on the other side of me.
I have a new appreciation for sunflowers! They are so beautiful, they cover the ugly fence behind them (making it look kind of artsy in the pic, I think), and they grow like weeds!
Here is a more full picture of what's happening . In the foreground are potatoes and carrots which have been experimental. Behind them in the same row are bell peppers and behind that are my bean poles. The other set contain cucumber, tomatoes, yellow squash and zucchini. And to be over the top I planted pumpkins in the very back which take over the rest of the ground by the sunflowers.
Food of the day. I pick about this much every few days. If you have any good recipes I would be happy to try them. This is my first garden ever and it has been a fun hobby. At the same time I am still fascinated that all you have to do is stick a seed in the ground and water it and you have something to eat. I think I am going to help people start gardens in my area so they can save some money and have some good food too- maybe we will have a community garden one day! I love that idea!
