| Planter Box made by Hubby about a month ago |
I planted a garden a little while ago, with hopes for greatness, but low expectations. I don't have what one would call a "green thumb." I have never really had the opportunity for a real garden outside of a few flowers and a tomato plant. So when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped at it....well sort of. I had to sort of ease into it, convince my husband of its benefits, and then jump in.
I planted mostly fall plants. Tomatoes, Spaghetti Squash, Zucchini, Bell Peppers, Cucumbers, and a few others. They have been growing like crazy, outgrew the planter box my husband made, and are starting to outgrow our little garden plot we created.
The other day I found a cucumber hiding among the leaves, and about did a happy dance! (Yeah, that would have been disturbing!) I patiently waited a couple more days, then today went out and took a measurement and decided it was time to pick.

I am excited to see a couple more little ones growing, and can't wait for my other plants to do likewise. So far I have 3 bellpeppers growing on one plant, but other than that, nothing but a lot of blooms. At least the blooms are pretty!
