Where do I start? There is so much going on in the garden, I don’t even know where to begin. I may have to split this into 2 posts next time so I can cram all the photos in.
The raised garden beds are on fire! Pretty soon we will be swimming in a sea of green.
The Brussels sprouts, cabbage and broccoli are alive and kicking!
And then there is the greenhouse. Oh boy, I can barely fit in it. I’m thinking I may have to repel from the trees next time and cut a hole in the top just to get in. I’ll have to put “channel Tom Cruise from Mission Impossible” on my to do list.
The bean teepee is rocking, and so are the hubbard squash I planted around the base. According to the bean packet, the vines should reach about 6 feet high. But I’m hoping they will reach a little higher. I want the beans to stretch all the way to the top so I can snap a spectacular photo and show people that anyone can do this. Anyone can garden. Seeds, dirt and a little water. That’s all it takes.
Plus it helps to be a little on the crazy side. Ya… I’m thinking that helps.
If you are looking to stock up on some good quality seeds, hop on over to Botanical Interests Seed Company. Word on the street is they are having a 40% off sale! Oh how I love a sale!

Your garden is awesome and very inspiring! I have a small garden as well, flowers and veggies, and am running into slug problems!! Have you run into those slimy creatures? Advice?
Mavis says
Yes we have slugs. Besides salting them and tossing them over the fence I have no other tricks. LOL. Sorry.

Mavis, do you have the name of the type of greenhouse that you got in any of your posts? Would you recommend it? I just bought the hubby a greenhouse kit from Lowe’s but after looking at yours it seems more like what he would use long-term. We have not opened the boxes yet so we could easily return it. Did you order it and have it shipped or get it at a store? Just curious. Thanks.
Mavis says
Hi Cathy,
We purchased a Magnum glass greenhouse and I purchased from a local vendor, but I’m sure if you did a quick google search you could find a dealer in your area. 🙂

What do you do for weed control?
