Mary Mary Quite Contrary,

How does your garden grow?

with cucumbers (for pickling!)

and kiwi (the vine climbing the trellis)

and tomatoes (that started as puny one-stem plants that have now taken over half the garden boxes)

We've harvested about 5 heads of lettuce, a small head of broccoli, and 3 little asparagus stems. We're also growing beans, celery, brussels sprouts, tomatillo, beets, pumpkin, zucchini, raspberries, and blueberries.

Hubby thinks our water bill will be a lot. He said, pointing to one small tomato, "That little tomato is going to cost $23 dollars!" It might. But I think it has been super cool watching my very first garden grow.

And considering this is what the 'garden' looked like just 5 months ago and (a year ago, further below), we've come a LONG way!
