Welcome to my garden!
... This past spring I started germinating seeds in the kitchen and attic so I could start a garden in the backyard. Because this is my first year gardening (and I'm unsure how I want to design my backyard garden), I choose to start a "container garden" for this year's season. I thought this blog would be a fun way to visually document the growth of each plant... and eventually the transformation of my whole back yard! Thanks for stopping by and happy gardening! :)

By clicking on any one of the plants in the Archive,
you can see the growth of that specific plant.

Garden Update...

On July 15th, I moved the oregano into the garden.

On July 16th, I rotated the garden (for the grass); the pea plants cannot be moved.

On July 17th, I put the lupine plants on the back porch to harden them off for transplant. I also fed all the tomato plants 9-12-12 fertilizer.

On July 18th, I noticed some of the baby tomato plants were leaning.

On July 19th, I pulled out 2 zucchini plants because they had wilted very badly and, since they were in separate pots of 2, I wanted to give the other plant a chance. I also separated the baby tomato plants that are leaning; there are 14 in all and at least 6 of them are leaning.
