BOOM!

One egg in a tortilla with cheese and greens FROM THE GARDEN.

I'm not sure I can adequately express how satisfying that is.

It was yummy too!

Garden Update in Pics

I did lots of work in the garden the other weekend.  I didn't get any pictures, but I also planted greens in the front flower bed, just to see if that would work.  And Preston finally finished the last box, which is in a nice sunny location.  I filled it with leaves and need to get soil - it will be primarily for tomatoes, I think.  I planted lettuce, spinach, onions, carrots, beets, bell peppers, strawberries, and cauliflower.  Oh and a ton of herbs in pots!

Long box with ALL THE THINGS.

Broccoli and habaneros from last year's plantings!

Garden update!

We have radishes! (And carrots and onions but those are super tiny.)

And we have a (tiny little) jalapeño!

Houston, we have a Garden!

We finally got the garden built!

We used boards left over from when my parents built their house years ago, so only spent maybe $40 in supplies.  Plus then another $100 on dirt, but really with all the roots in our area, it is the only way to get clear planting.  I filled the boxes as much as possible with leaves before we added the dirt, to save on costs.

We actually built 4 boxes but the other two don't have dirt yet.  I think we will see how these go and then go from there.

We planted several tomatoes and peppers, 2 broccoli plants, one squash, a watermelon and a cantaloupe.  And yes, I'm aware that the watermelon and cantaloupe will run out.  We're just going to see how that goes.  Also I planted a short row of carrots, onions, and radishes.

I am so excited!
