My First Garden

Actually, it's my husband's first garden.

We had the idea together, I came home from the gym & he had already finished making it!

I include it here on this blog to document it's progress & to show that it is easier than we all believe. It is a healthier way of living - & snacking. I am so excited to see how it turns out!

Tyler made a square bed, laid some Kellog Garden, Raised Bed, Soil Mix to plant the seed in and plant the tomatoes. We used poultry wire to make a fence around the garden in order to keep the cute little bunnies out.

As much as I love the bunnies, they did eat the last flowers that I attempted to plant.

Our vegetable garden consists of tomato, cucumber and onion. My favorite salad!

The cucumber & onion is expected to be ready by September 8, 2020.

Now the tomatoes we are unsure of. There is a special story behind those - get the tissues.

Our neighbor had planted these tomatoes before he passed away in the beginning of the summer this year (2020). He lived with his mother, across the street from us and she had two left, with no where to plant them. He had planted several of them, in pots, which she had transferred to her garden. When she ran out of room, she brought these last two over to us. Which is what started our plan to begin the garden. May he rest in peace & his family find comfort in these difficult times! I found it very heart warming that she thought to bring these tomato plants to Tyler & me. So we are going to do out best to make crop!
