JoAnne's Garden

                           

My garden is growing and I have veggies on the vines now. Here are a few pictures. 

As you can see in the above pictures, I have some peppers growing and they look pretty good. 

This is the picture of my squash, and I have several more blooms on the vine. 

And these babies are my tomatoes. I have at least two or three on each plant and some more blooms. So they are growing good. 

This is a long shot of my garden. I have been trying to keep the grass out from around the plants at least, but it is a job.

Garden Surprises

My garden is coming along nicely and my plants seem to be growing at a good pace. The only concern I have right now for my garden is it is being assaulted by weeds. I am going to share some pictures, but don't be to judgmental when you see how much grass is growing in the garden. 

As you can see from the above photo, I have been weeding around the beans, peppers and tomatoes. I really need to get in there and get all the grass out from around the corn. 

The little patch up front with the red bark around it is strawberries. 

That cluster of green tall things at the front are my sunflowers. They are going to be huge! I am so excited! I have never in my life grown anything with such success.

Garden Update

My garden is coming right along. I have had only a few plants die. One of pepper plants and one of my squash plants didn't make it but the rest of the garden is looking pretty good.

I haven't done a lot with the soil yet, I have been just trying to keep out as many weeds as I can right now. I'm not sure all of the butter beans are going to make it, but I am hopeful. 

The above picture is of the butter beans that are beginning to sprout. Some actually have leaves and the other ones look like this. So, like I said, I am not sure they are going to make it but I'm hopeful. 

My Beautiful Garden

I made this picture extra large on purpose. If you are familiar with gardening then you can spot the snap beans. The back row is peppers and tomatoes, the next row is corn, cucumbers and squash. The next row is the snaps. I can't wait, this is so exciting seeing my garden grow.

Planting My Garden

Yesterday, I planted tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, butter beans, snap beans, corn, strawberries and some sunflowers for fun. There is still some grass in my garden bed, but I am going to see if my plants sprout and then I am going to get in there and weed it really good.

The picture above is a selfie of me and my garden. I'm telling everybody my garden is my new love. They say if you talk to your plants or play them music, they will grow better. Who knows? I put down a bit of planting soil as well, but as you can also see in the picture, it looks a bit concentrated. This is my first garden, so I  am learning as I go.

The plants in the picture above are the tomatoes and peppers. I really hope my tomatoes do well because I actually planted the whole garden just for them. (They are on the back row)

The picture above is actually a strawberry plant. I am going to need to get some pine straw for this plant and I think I may have to put plastic over it at some point. Not sure, but I will find out.

Random pic of my garden after I got everything planted. I plan on working on it for a while everyday because I really want it to grow.

Like I pointed out in one of the above pictures, the planting soil stuff that I used is kind of concentrated but I did try to fan it out by raking. The funny thing is I actually spilled a whole packet of sunflower seeds on the ground so I don't know if they will grow or not. I sure hope so!
