Our Garden

(michael) - We are getting closer to completing the backyard garden. Though I have not been able to spend too much time back there lately.

We are learning to grow vegetables and currently have planted in the photos here; potato, green bush bean, tomato, beet, cucumber, summer squash, cantaloupe, cabbage, leeks, carrots, lettuce, green onion, bok choy, hot peppers, kale and snow peas (raspberries and blueberries and a lonely single strawberry plant too). Of course so much of this is an experiment, and we ended up growing small quantities of many things, that I doubt we will see all of this grow in the space provided, but it sure is fun trying. I have learned that it is pretty darn easy to get a seed to sprout and grow into a plant. Getting it to thrive is what takes work. And it seems to me that it's the same way with people.
