I am super excited to show off my very first harvest!!!
If you remember back to our garden box first being built back in this post, you will see what a slow start we had.
It went from this sad state of affairs...
To only a marginally better state.
Then all of a sudden, kaboom!
Beans everywhere!!
My peas are out of control - I can't even tell you how many I am going to get.
The cucumber plants have taken over, and even the carrots are starting to really grow.
I think I should pick some lettuce for dinner tonight too.
I am so darn proud of such a silly little thing that women have been doing for centuries.
Weird.
Eeeeeeeee!!
Your garden is so cute, and it seriously looks like it exploded. I am so jealous of it, and all those beans! I adore green beans. Apartment life = no garden, so I will live vicariously through you. May you continue to have a bountiful harvest.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, Pat. I was going through Wheele-withdrawal symptoms.
Awwwwww!
DeleteThanks for saying that!
I had a pretty hectic couple of weeks at work, to the point where looking at a computer was the last thing I wanted to do after staring at my CAD screen all day.
Plus, for some ridiculous reason, I have various projects in different states of finished, and can't seem to pull any of them into a point of completion.
On a side note... did you know you are supposed to weed a garden?
Who knew?
Once I did that my carrots started to grow... something about being able to get light. Weird.
Wait, you're supposed to weed a garden? And more importantly, is that a metaphor? "Once I did that my carrots started to grow". I am literally the most immature person I know. And that's including 12 year old boys.
DeleteSorry to hear work is poopy-busy. But on the other hand, it is good to know you are high in demand. And I totes know how you feel - after a long day at work, the last thing you want to do is zombie in front on a computer. Zero lols.

Ha!
DeleteI do have to tell you that my husband is potentially the most immature person I know - I say that with love - so I think you have nothing to worry about.
Also, I may have snorted water out of my nose at the carrot comment. I usually see innuendo a mile away! Oi.
SO jealous. Had plans to install these along the side of our house, but the backyard issues weren't resolved until late July so boooo.... no time for a garden. Next year!!
ReplyDeleteBackyards are a real dilemma for me. I thought after living in this house for a year, that our yard would be beautiful. I am stunned at how much time it takes to get it pretty. A tip on the garden box... make it narrower than mine! I have a tough time reaching the middle - I think mine is 8' across.
