Another garden post

So I am sure when you logged on here you were totally looking for an update on the status of the garden, right?!? Work with me here ...

Ok, so I know I am a little obsessed with it, but what can I say - I am so excited that I planted stuff and that it is actually growing!!! I have never really considered myself a green thumb, hence, we have no houseplants because I forget to water them, but the garden is doing excellent!

There are blooms on 3 of the 4 tomato plants and I found a bloom today on one of the green pepper plants. The peas are growing like crazy, but no blooms yet. My cucumbers, which I thought were going to die, have revived and now have 6 or 7 blooms! I have lettuce and spinach coming out my ears - I am going to turn into a salad I think. The strawberries are crazy (I didn't plant these, they were here previously) - I have made muffins and a homemade strawberry sauce for ice cream and waffles plus Keira eats them raw everyday and we still have more than we can eat! The carrots are thriving and the onions look good. I think we'll have radishes this weekend! Yippee! More pictures soon - come on, you know you can't get enough of it!

I told Wade that when we have to move again, should we not be lucky like this time with a perfect place for a garden, he is going to have to build me some raised beds - I'm hooked!
