My Garden...


At the very end of my flower bed I put a small garden and it is growing!
I am so excited.
It's nothing fancy, we found some scrap lumber that the previous owners left
and made a small raised bed.
The ground is all clay so all winter I added coffee grounds,egg shells, bananas and leaves anything that would compost. This summer I added several bags of topsoil, peat moss, manure and miracle grow. Anything to help the soil out.

I have tomatoes, lettuce, squash and cucumbers

My squash will be ready in a week or so.

We have already had lettuce.... wilted lettuce.
You know the kind with bacon and onions and apple cider vinegar and bacon drippings!
YUM

Unlike the more southern part of the country, we have had lots of rain and it is blooming.
My flowers and shrubs are thriving!
I am so grateful!
