Garden Update

Happy Summer, my loves! I've got some exciting news on the horizon regarding a 4-legged addition to our family, but I need to take proper photos so you'll have to wait for a future post. Today I'd like to give you a little tour of our garden! I showed you the beginnings of our square foot garden in this post. Other than a few minor setbacks due to the CRAZY temperatures this summer and the fact that we're still beginners when it comes to growing vegetables, it has been pretty successful. Here are a few photos I've taken throughout the season. Instead of rambling on about every minute detail of our gardening adventure, I'll do less talking and more identifying.

Pole Beans

Romaine Lettuce

Dill

Sugar Snap Peas

Summer Squash

Garlic

Corn

Have you successfully grown anything this season? I'd love to hear about it! I'm always on the lookout for new things to plant. I'm wishing you a gorgeous, sunny day!

Stela said...: I'm so envious of your garden! I cannot grow anything for the life of me. I guess my downfall is I forget to water them :(

Renee said...: Yum! You guys are doing quite a magnificent job!! Everything looks so great and lush considering our warm temps this summer.
