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,

Pea - Alaska and Burpeeana Early...

About 50 days old. On July 20th, I added soil to this container; it was really needing it. These plants seemed to do really well through all the rain that we had this week, until yesterday when a storm came through with some wind. Unfortunately, the wind toppled the top of the taller peas and some of the stems got damaged, so I detached (them from each other) and rerouted them... hopefully they'll be okay. I've already made notes for taller supports for next year.
