In my garden

Gardening is hard work, at least the prep is.  We have our fruit in a raised bed and the veggies in the ground.  Although I wish it were the other way around. 
Take a peek at what's growing!


I had to move this one inside.  I had 4 teeny tiny avocados on there and the next day they were gone! So now it is on my back porch


We have a few baby peppers!


Blueberries from last year that came up this year!  I hope they last because the birds love them as much as we do :D


Silverqueen corn.  Just planted last night

Eggplant! 

The fig I bought as Walmart last night.  I decided to put it on my back porch in case an animal likes it to.

Various herbs on the back porch.  They got a good haircut last week and already they are growing quickly


My baby lettuce looks so cute, but I know the soil looks yucky....

Strawberries from last year too!

Cherry tomatoes are coming in also.
This year we decided to go for a lasagna type garden.  Which means layering of the soil, compost, mulch and on the very bottom layer we layed down newspaper.  This is supposed to be a good method according to the guy who's whole yard is edible.  We will see!

Happy Good Friday!
It is also Earth Day, but I choose to say that it is Good Friday! After all it is He who died and rose again for US.  Not the earth!! He created the earth and all that is in it.
