1st time

Gardening...

This will be my first ever garden. So far I have planted my strawberries, Watermelon and Tomatoes. DH was funny and bought me 2 containers of tomato plants instead of 2 plants lol. But I went ahead and planted them all with the hopes of canning some. I also hope to freeze some berries for the winter months. I still have to plant zucchini, cantelope, bell peppers, cucumbers, and corn. Seems like there are more but I can't remember them at the moment.
But before I can plant more my DH has to make me another raised bed. Actually I am going to have him make me 2 more. I want to add sweet potatoes too.

The birds have already been trying to get into my strawberries. So I must find something that will keep them away. Obviously the dogs don't care.

Later this summer I hope to get a compost pile going and next year when we get gutters I hope to get a rainwater barrel. We have had sooo much rain this year that I am sure it would have filled 3 times already.

Hannah tried helping me plant my seeds but didn't want to get her hands dirty. Its kind hard to be a gardener and not get your hands dirty. Guess that is something she is just going to have to learn.
