This is what our garden looked like before. must say I'm actually pretty impressed with the strawberry, green pepper and blackberry plants that all survied a hurricane and snow. The strawberry plant is already starting to bloom as well. 
Needless to say the garden needs a little work and some new plants.

Saturday I went and got new dirt and a few plants. I had tons of homework to do that day and not a lot of motivations. So the garden helped me out. When I got home I had to read four pages before I could put the dirt in. Then I had to read four more pages before I could plant something else. Actually I was kind of waiting for my roommates to get home so they could plant some as well since its all of ours.
This is what it looks like now. Still needs some more plants, but its a start. Right now we have the strawberries, two tomatoe plants, blackberries, cucumbers and flowers to keep the bugs away. It looks much better and I'm already excited to watch it grow. Its so rewarding to see the plants get taller and start to produce, not to mention eating the fruits of your labors.
looks good! we want to taste some of those fruits!
ReplyDeleteCan you share some of the pickings with us when they come??? I wish we could plant a garden here because buying produce at the store sure gets expensive!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you had to read inbetween plantings! That sounds like something I'd do to avoid/force myself to do homework! And what a cute garden!
