Every year, our gardens get bigger & bigger...and, become more & more work. This year, DH built us two raised garden beds in our backyard. They replaced two very large & overgrown Forsythia bushes, that I've been dreaming of getting rid of for years.
Growing up, we always had a vegetable garden. So, enjoying summer harvests has been something I have always looked forward too. But, having our very own garden, is even more rewarding. We have moved on from our little container gardens & can plant so much more.
We've planted loads of tomatoes. Along with, eggplant, cucumbers, raspberries, strawberries, acorn squash, peanuts, amaranth, radishes, arugula, lettuce, sugar snap & sweet peas, dill, tarragon, basil {which is mostly all gone now, due to some insect, or rodent}, cilantro, beets, rapini {broccoli raab}, leeks, shallots, chocolate mint, spearmint, chives, bell peppers & of course, parsley.
I've already been using plenty of the herbs & this weekend we harvested our first ripe cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peas & eggplant. So amazing!
