Well, it seems I completely neglected to blog about my garden last year...oops. To catch you up, I have rounded out my main garden that used to be a rectangle and created two smaller gardens on either side of it, a flower and an herb garden respectively.
This year, in the round veggie garden I planted:
- Cucumbers
- Cantaloupe
- Romain Lettuce
- Carrots
- Sweet Onions
- Radishes
- Watermelon
- Cauliflower
- Peas
- Blue Lake Beans
- Strawberries
- Broccoli
(Starting at the row located at 5:00 and going clockwise- cantaloupe, lettuce, carrots, onions/radishes, watermelon, cauliflower, peas/beans, strawberries, broccoli, and cucumbers)
In the side herb garden, I have:
- Mugwort
- Hyssop
- Sage
- Thyme
- Cilantro
And more is to come- as I am sure you can see by the vast hole to the left in the picture below. I will be adding basil, oregano, and rosemary.

So here is a picture of my beautiful little Early Girl tomato.
And last but not least, a picture of my cherry tomato plant- yum yum :-)
And For anyone wondering why my herb garden soil is red while the garden soil is black, I added compost to the veggie garden. I don't add it to the herb garden though because, let's face it, herbs are just tasty weeds and they can grow in nearly anything :-)
