What’s In Your Garden?

I’ve had a black thumb my entire life. In fact, while I tried and tried for years I never seemed good at gardening or even keeping a plant alive. All of that changed several years ago when after a disappointing summer of nothing that we planted growing, I noticed these little sprouts coming up in the corner of my garden. Asparagus. I love my asparagus, and has been the only thing I’ve successfully kept alive for 3 whole years. (shhh… I’m so afraid of jinxing it).

Earlier this spring we planted celery and it’s growing nicely as well. So I’m good with two veggies.

Then a few weeks ago I decided to add to the garden even further and bought one of several different things to see what would happen and if they’d actually stay alive, since way back when I lost every plant/veggie/fruit that we took the time to put in the garden.

How am I doing?

Also growing I have:

  • Green Beans
  • Lettuce
  • Scallions
  • Cucumbers from seed
  • Carrots

To plant still, I have:

More of all of that up there and then:

  • Basil
  • Rosemary
  • Thyme
  • Parsley
  • Green Onions/Scallions
  • lavender
  • dill
  • chives
  • mint
  • sage

I’m trying to make sure I keep everything else alive first. haha Wish me well on that, I need all the green thumb mojo I can get. I am awfully proud that I have things actually growing and producing stuff though – even our tomato plant has tiny tomatoes growing on it. Very happy about that.
