Garden Update

As you may remember, we planted a vegetable garden a couple months ago. We chose not to do a raised bed, but to till an area and plant directly in the ground instead. We were diligent about pulling weeds and little spouts of grass, but a few sprouts of grass suddenly became thousands of teeny tiny baby blades of grass sticking through the soil within a matter of days. AHHH! We quickly realized we wouldn't be able to keep the grass at bay. So this is what the garden looks like today.

Now before you go thinking it's ruined, we have been pulling the grass from around the base of our plants to protect the roots as much as possible....and guess what we found today...

Life! A teeny-tiny cucumber.

And a teeny-tiny tomato!

There are lots and lots of blooms on our cucumber, tomato, and squash plants. The peppers don't have blooms yet, but they are still looking strong and healthy.

Looks like a good start to me!
