Pole beans with string for support

Grandpa Ott's Flowering Vine Seedlings

Tomato alley, lol. I tried using string to give support to these tomatoes.

Garden entry way and new bench hubby made me from recycled materials.

Vine seedlings sprouting

June 18th. We had 2 turtle dove baby birds visit our garden & got a picture of one of them by the flower plants. The girls have been in bird heaven this year. They have gotten to see the turtle doves, a little new sparrow and both of the robins from the nest next to the house.

Herb garden in front of fence. Catmint plant

Love those pickets!

Along this outer edge are black eye susans, purple and yellow coneflowers and by the shed are a couple of butterfly bushes. All gotten from my new friend Karen for $1 a plant :-) Gotta love the classified section in the newspaper.

Fence in progress, and entryway made my my husband for flowering vines to climb.

Well, this is my first post on my first blog. I am looking for a way to track the growth of my first vegetable & herb garden. So far it is going great. I planted on May 29 after my wonderful husband spent hours of his time working on tilling, building a fence and laying out the paths for me to garden.

So here it is in the beginning stages. (May 13)Last year we cut down 3 trees to make this space sunny enough to have a garden. You can see the cotton wood roots to the left of the picture.

Here are my heirloom tomatoes I started from seed, just waiting for the garden to be done.
