Just over a month ago, Brian, Bun, Jack and I decided that we would plant a little garden this year. We have a small concrete area in our backyard that was once a koi pond that is a perfect spot for a garden. Initially, it was very weedy, but we weeded it, [hand] tilled it up a bit, bought some plants, planted them, and watered them daily. We were slightly worried about what would happen to our plants while we were on our beach vacation, but they prospered in the heat and we came back with a garden full of bushy, green plants...and weeds.
Today we were weeding our garden a bit and noticed that we actually have watermelons, tomatoes, and green peppers growing!!! This is so exciting, folks! We had no clue what would happen to our plants or if we would even be able to manage a garden. We knew that tomatoes and green peppers were easy to grow, but to actually see little watermelons forming on our vine is so gratifying!
It turns out we do have green thumbs! And we cannot wait to reap the benefits of having a lovely little garden in our very own backyard!

ReplyDeleteI know!! All the rest of our plants in our yard have pretty much called it quits, but our veggies, herbs and watermelon plant continue to prosper!
