garden 2011

I didn't post much about our garden last year.
It was a great first year. We had lots of vegetables and no animals.
We are gearing up for this year's garden; soil went in today and we will be planting soon.
In central Ohio, the rule of thumb is to wait until Mother's Day before you plant outdoors (most plants).
I'm itching to plant. I love walking out back to get ingredients for lunch and dinner. YUM!

Here are some pictures from last year:

 soil

Seeds: Spinach, lettuce, carrots, cucumber

seeing growth was exciting!

 L to R: toms, cucumber, carrots, spinach/lettuce (didn't work out) :(

Pretty Petunias. 

 I loved these petunias and their beautiful color! They were planted Memorial Day weekend and lasted well-into August. Notice the cucumbers getting all up in their space.

3 tomato plants. We had lots and lots of toms!

Wait until you see what we have going on/in this year!
