I hope everyone is having a great week so far…I’m so glad that tomorrow’s Friday! I have a lot of exciting things coming up including my cousin’s bridal shower (I’m the maid-well, matron-of honor), and we’re going camping Easter weekend as well! Although not as exciting, I had a very productive weekend this past week. We’ve been wanting to spruce up our backyard with flowers and a new flower bed…and I finally got my veggies!
First, I started by doing a couple of herbs in a pot. My rosemary and oregano are are still thriving in the ground where hubby planted them so I kept them there. I planted basil, thyme, and chives.
Last year my basil did really well, so I’m determined to work on a good pesto recipe 
. Thyme is a favorite of mine, and this is my first time growing chives.
I did a lot of gardening by myself-especially making another bed for my new hibiscus plants. Talk about a workout! But everything looks so great.
I planted a slew of veggies (and fruits!) in three different beds. Here’s a list of my loot:
Bed #1: yellow squash, zucchini, okra
Bed #2: red and green bell peppers, green beans (seeds)
Bed #3: eggplant, corn, tomato, watermelon
Many of these plants are new to me, so I really have to up my farming skills haha. I really slacked off last season so I’m ready to work now!
And while I was doing my gardening, I decided to turn my compost…look what I found!
Worms! As I’m learning more and more about composting, I found out that worms are a good thing They help to break down the materials added to the compost. I have quite a few wiggling around in there.
So wish me luck this gardening season! As always, I’ll be keeping ya’ll updated.
Do you have a veggie or herb garden this year? If so, what are you growing?
Nice info. People who are new to organic gardening often think that organic gardening fertilizer is just another type of fertilizer in a bag. What i think is that it is a little more involved than that, and if you are thinking that you are missing the point.
