the growing continues

Another quick update on our first veggie garden.

After returning from our weekend in OKC we were fearful that some damage may have been done to the veggie garden due to lack of watering. Boy were we wrong. The veggie garden was doing better than ever with plants towering and tomatoes popping up everywhere. We even had to add in some support cages for the tomato plants because the weight of all the tomatoes was taking them down.

A quick look back at day 1:


And now at day 40 or so:


We are getting some absolutely beautiful veggies.

our first veggie garden

A couple weeks ago, before our sodding project, Chase and I built and planted our first veggie garden.  Its just a small beginner garden that we plan to expand on but its a good start.



We decided to do our gardening in a raised box bed made with our own bare hands. A couple untreatd 2x6x8 and a piece of untreated plywood with holes drilled in for drainage. Simple and effective.



We used the plants provided by Burpee Home Gardens and Paisley even helped me plant them.

Right now the veggie garden is made up of 4 different varieties of tomatoes and some basil. We can't wait to use our own home grown tomatoes!
