Week 1, 2012

The garden has been planted for this year! We have a bunch of different veggies: lettuce, sugar snap peas, green beans, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, straight-neck squash, tomatoes, bell peppers, and even some strawberries and blueberries!

Here's a look at our plants...

One blueberry plant! We had to buy new plants because the ones we bought 3 years ago were still sticks. Seriously.

Our second blueberry plant, to help pollinate the other one

First bed, containing lettuce, sugar snap peas and green beans

Second bed, containing yellow squash, straight-neck squash, cucumbers, and zucchini.

Third bed, with freshly watered tomatoes and bell peppers

Fourth bed, strawberries! Yes, that is chicken wire around it. We're trying our best at squirrel-proofing these plants :P

Fifth bed, with more freshly watered tomatoes and bell peppers.

And for the big finale....

Our first harvest!! Yes, three measly strawberries. But the birds didn't get them! And the squirrels didn't get them! And they didn't rot! YAY!! They are so red and (were) delicious!

Stay tuned for more updates!
