grow my own garden

I finally found time to complete this goal! I have flowers, herbs and vegetables. Pics to come soon!

I’m working on some plants right now, but they are indoor/outdoor potted plants. I want a full out garden with herbs, vegetables, flower beds and gardens. I just want to be able to effectively grow something because I am horrible at keeping flowers alive!

I Did That!

I Did That All On My Own(:!

Had my first balcony garden this year. Many perennials – enjoyed sitting among them. Attempted tomatoes but they got some kind of fungus. Did grow my own basil, cilantro and green onions. Wanted to make my own salsa … no tomatoes though. Looking forward to next spring. Maybe I’ll do some herbs inside this winter.

Look at them! Yay!

are about to pop! So excited!

update…I killed my baby veggies, all but two little bean plants. O well, I’m much better with flowers.

out like a lion…. (how many hurricanes will we get this year??)

it’s in the 70’s today so I got out today and got a little dirty. Flowers are doing GOOD! Vegetables are still babies but they are growing!

they are getting there…

I started my first garden 2 years ago and was really bad at house plants so I honestly didn’t think it would work. Year 1 I went out every morning at stared at my plants in amazement that they were not dead. I’m still really bad at house plants but my second year garden kicked ass!! In February I am eating things from my garden – canned tomatoes, homemade canned salsa, winter squash….amazing.

Well, I’ve never had much of a green thumb. I tried growing a garden a few years ago and planted some seeds, but none of them grew. In seventh grade, we had to grow lima bean plants in science class, and mines was the only one that didn’t grow. I would definitely like to master the art of gardening.
