Our New Baby

Hee hee - did I get some of you excited with that title? Sorry...not a crying, pooping, cooing baby yet. But, a live, changing, growing baby all the same - a new garden!

Jon signed up for a community garden plot about a month ago. I'll be honest - at first I sighed, and said, "Well, this is your baby...don't count on me for anything". But I love it already. Here are some pictures of how it started, and what it looked like last week. It already looks different. We'll keep updating as we go.








Currently we are growing tomatoes, jalepenos, bell peppers, okra, cucumber, zucchini, beans, pumpkin, eggplant, sweet potato, oregano, rosemary, thyme, spinach and sunflowers.

Our first harvest!

OOOOO!!!! Okra???? It's slimy! But the garden looks great! How do you fit all those plants into that one little plot?

The title didn't get me excited because I know you wouldn't DARE announce that kind of news without calling me first :)

Nice job on the garden!! We're currently growing cilantro so that we can make our own salsa!

Garden looks great! Not sure I would grow okra - "snot" soup is quite popular in Nigeria! I agree with Erika on a "proper" announcement!
