Garden pics

Well, as I don't have a good place at my house for a garden, my parent's have graciously allowed me to put a garden in at their new house. I took some pics right after planting and thought I would post them. I have sprouts now so it looks a little different right now.There are still many plans in place that will improve my little garden once I am able to complete them......
Here is the main garden, it is 30X30 and will have trellis/fencing around 3 sides for my cukes and peas. It will also have chipped wood pathways between the squares, if they ever deliver it to me! It was supposed to be delivered a week ago but I still haven't seen it......
In the greenhouse that you can see in the background of the above pic I have a large raised bed of tomatoes and below is my outdoor raised bed for herbs.
I am trying a method of gardening called companion planting. I have a book and it gives examples of plants that thrive together and plants that thwart one anothers growth. It is an interesting theory and so I am trying it out. I am excited to see how my garden grows! :o) I will post more pics as my garden looks more gardenly! ;o) My garden may not be cute, whimsical, showy, etc.... but it should be practical (if I can keep the wildlife out!).

  1. How fun! I'm looking forward to the day that I can have a garden. They won't even let me put a planter under my window here. You'll have to put updated "how my garden grows" pictures up occasionally!
