I’m trying my garden again this year. In mid-March (while those of you in the North were still digging out of that white stuff), I cleared a space behind our shed.
Hubby built a frame for me and I filled it with garden soil and manure.
The kids and I love melons – honeydew, cantaloupes, watermelons -so we planted them all. The cantaloupes aren’t here (they can mix with honeydews and the results aren’t very tasty). Here we have honeydews, watermelons, gourds, and carrots (which aren’t doing so well).
The watermelons are taking over! I have to keep steering them towards the poor gourds.
We were so excited to find a little, bitty watermelon…
… and a little honeydew too!
I’m hoping my carrots recover. If not, I’ll replant them. I’m also hoping to get some peas and beans in along the shed wall. I’ll put something up for them to climb. I’d also love to try growing asparagus, garlic, onions, cucumbers, peppers, plus some herbs.
What about you? Do you have a garden?
