Since Jeremy and I have moved into our house we consistently discuss the concept of a garden in the summer. We have good intentions and one year even planted a few things - however nothing grew due to a lack of attention to it on our part. I've had my doubts about gardens because they seemed to be a lot of work, and I have no idea what I am doing.
Well, this year we decided that we needed to try again and it's proved so far to be a fun process. Addison really gets into watering the plants and seeing them grow everyday. On Tuesday she ate our first garden harvest - a lone strawberry - but she said it was delicious! And my skepticism as decreased since I learned that if you plant seeds and then water them consistently they will grow - who knew?
We planted a wide variety of items in our garden - not expecting them all to even break the surface of the ground but much to our surprise everything we've planted has surfaced and continued to grow - it's been great fun to watch. Who knows if they will supply us with any fruit or vegetables but we've had fun and will continue to plant a garden in summers to come - hoping that someday we can reep the benefits of our labor.
Here are the things that are gracing our garden space at the current moment. We realize that some of these items will have to be replanted elsewhere due to the known fact that they will take over the area but for now they are all cozy and safe in our small secluded area.
