at the begining
back when we planted our orange tree I got a few plants and the deal was...if I could keep them alive we would do a bigger garden without pots.
We ended up with 4 tomato, 3 watermelon, 2 spaghetti squash, 3 zucchini, 1 min, 1 parsley, 1 sweet basil, 3 strawberries, 1 red pepper and 1 banana pepper.
I will have a picture of the current state. But it is on Valeire's computer. I have stopped downloading pictures on our computer since I totally messed up the colors.:(
The kids really enjoyed Helping. They really seem to enjoy picking something everyday. Well most every day. They seem to love zucchini right now, but by the end of the summer I am not sure how they will feel about it. We have enough to eat zucchini about every other day. I have gotten a few banana peppers. We given away 1 spaghetti squash because there were to many growing and I must say nobody is to excited to try it. I am hoping to cook it (we have 3 at about the same stage) one night this week. I think it is just about ready.
Several times a week the kids pick basil and mint for me and seem to enjoy it. they pick the mint try some and then spit it out.:(
Savannah pulled a very young unripe watermelon the other day, I must say it did make us all very sad. We only have 3 growing and I believe it is the most wanted item out of the garden.
We also decided to do a blue berry bush, which is starting to produce blue berries. The kids each got 4 this morning. I was killing it in the beginning. I research how much water to give it and followed, but it was loosing all of it's berries, then found out that I was not giving nearly enough water. Now they are coming in full swing.
