Garden Update

Tomatoes upon Tomatoes:  Tomatoes have got to be the best thing I have grown this year! They have been producing fruit since June and have never stopped.  I have gone on two vacations and they have not only survived but didn't skip a beat.  Everyday I come home to a happy harvest of at least 10 red tomatoe babies ready for the picking. 



Raspberry Surprises:  I was told that Raspberries do not produce for the first couple of years.  I was prepared to be patient and just wait.  So when my first year little baby plants started to produce lovely red berries, you can imagine my shock and pure happiness.  Like the tomatoes I get to pick these lovely berries everyday, when I get home from work... Pure Bliss!

Strawberry Kisses:  What hardy and wonderful Strawberries I have had this year!  They started producing mid May and have never stopped.  The only problem to be had was the birds but for some reason they stopped mid summer... leaving one happy little gardener to enjoy the fruits of her labor.


Bountiful Basil:  My basil been wonderful this year!  The best basil was the sweet basil I planted in the ground.  It truly has been such a great herb to grow.

Wonderful Watermelon:  Isn't it fun to think you can put a few tiny little seeds in the ground and before you know it you have a beautiful watermelon.  I have already eaten two good sized watermelons out of my garden.  This little baby is the next one to be harvested.

 
 
 
Came home to this the other day... Happy little Harvest.

It's been fun having my first garden, the best thing I did was to weed everyday I watered (which was everyday).  It seemed like a burden in the beginning, that it was a never ending chore but as the summer went by the weeding got lighter and lighter till it it became almost non existant. 

I hope you found something you enjoyed as much as I have enjoyed my little garden.
