Mini Garden

Growing up every year my Dad would plant this enormous garden that stretched the length of our entire yard. And every year I'd have to help weed and plant. I'll be honest..I hated weeding and mostly complained, but I did enjoy helping plant.-Now that was fun! My favorite part of the garden was usually the peas. I would be asked to go out and pick some peas and I would go sit in the garden and pick a few peas and then eat a few (or a lot). Mostly just eat. I love fresh peas! I'm pretty sure my family hardly ever got to taste any of the peas because I ate them all before they had their chance. I guess they will just have to take my word for it when I say that they are the best. Anywho, I never thought I would have a garden of my own someday...especially since right now we live in an apartment. However, a couple of months ago I got the urge to plant my own little porch garden. So for Mother's Day Chad bought me two big pots and some gardening supplies to begin my little mini-garden. Chad did a fabulous job in picking out some cute pots that would look nice on our balcony and I love them! Thanks Chadley!

Here are my wee little plants just two weeks ago when we planted them.
These tomato plants looked pretty pitiful to begin with.
There seemed to be tons of space in this big pot when we first planted them, but now it's getting a bit crowed. I might have to take out the cucumber plant before it takes over my green pepper plants.
But just look at these tomato babies grow now! They are doing awesome!
My favorite thing about my mini garden is that there are no weeds! So great! Hopefully my little plants continue to thrive so we can enjoy some yummy veggies this summer!
