our garden

Finally got around to planting a little garden a couple of weeks back. 

Now we get to keep out the weeds and watch it grow!! 

Growing things in the Northwest is quite different than in Southern California. 

I'm learning that warm weather veggies like tomatoes don't grow well here. 

I AM excited though, about all the leafy, cool weather plants 

..... that we have grown to LOVE:

Along with the above plants I also have planted:

broccoli

cauliflower

pole beans

bush beans

green leaf lettuce

squash

zucchini
flowering sweet peas :)
and numerous wild flowers

There's nothin' like having a big science experiment going on in your back yard!! 

Gardening is truly a new thing for me..... this is really only my third summer

of attempting to grow anything! 

If you're interested, you can walk down memory lane with me 

and check out last summer's garden

here and here!

What's growing in your back yard??
