A few pics from my garden.

My largest head and my smallest head of garlic. (These are different varieties.) First year growing and I definitely learned a lot!

My first ever garlic harvest. Planted three varieties and for the life of me and I can’t remember what is what and I forgot to label them. 🫣 Now starts the curing phase!

I’ve done a really bad job of sharing my garden photos this season. Here are some before and after photos. Planted on May 22, 2023 - what a difference 37 days can make!

My ranunculus finally decided to bloom a few weeks ago. I got to snap a few photos before the recent rain hit them hard. My first successful growing season for my favorite flower!

Finally got to plant my containers today! A few more left to go!

My first ever tiny garden on the left.

They tiniest sprouts are happening in my winter sown jug!

How it started vs how it’s going.

The first picture is my very first container garden (2015) - tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and a few flowers. It was a VERY minor success and my 4yo loved it!!

The second picture is my raised bed garden from last summer, (7 years later) - mini pumpkins, pumpkin on a stick, marigolds, corn, green beans, tomatoes, banana peppers, cucumbers, watermelon, carrots, bell peppers, potatoes, plus more containers, house plants, and a flower garden.

This is a great reminder that we all start somewhere. Even if you think you have a “black thumb”, start small, do some research, and have some fun. All you have to do is try. You never know where you will end up.

So far, this is the best method I’ve found to protect my tulips. $1.25 mesh wastebasket from Dollar Tree and a few landscape staples!

The rule of thumb for hydrangeas is first they sleep, then they creep, then they leap. This is will be year 3, so I can’t wait to see it leap!!!
