Garden Success!

I had mentioned in a previous post about us putting together a garden this summer. Well, we finished the garden box and got in the dirt and did some planting and... success!!! It's actually growing and looking like a real garden! The best part is our pumpkin patch. Sure, we don't need a whole pumkin patch for ourselves, but it looks neat (especially if we actually get pumpkins!) and we have a plan...Our plan is to be neighborly and share our wealth of big, hearty pumpkins. Our neighborhood is always putting out signs at the main intersection for free stuff and different neighborhood functions. We thought we'd put out a sign, come Fall time, for free pumpkins. Great way to get to know our neighbors, right??? Anyways, it's been fun watching our fruits and veggies grow. Next year we plan to make it bigger and better!

This is a half-view of our main garden.

Our pumpkin patch

My one and only strawberry plant that got eaten by a deer! In fact, I watched the stupid deer run down the street, in front of our house, at 2:00 a.m. Little did I know, at the time, that he was after my strawberries!!!!
