The Garden of Love

As many of you know, I have a small garden that I LOVE! This year I was determined to get some fruits and veggies so I decided to plant the seeds earlier and shun the dogs to the dog run (aka Doggie Alcatraz). 

This is the layout of what I decided to plant this year.  If you are wondering how I am going to get watermelon, cantaloupe, and pumpkins to grow in this tiny garden, I planted the bigger plants on the corners and border so they could grow out on to the grass.

This is picture of the garden was taken on February 27-  Everything started from seed except the strawberries and rosemary. 

Jerry's Jalapeno and tomato!                                                               

The tall plant is a sunflower.  Hopefully it will bloom soon!  Here's my strawberry!



Squash!

Here's the full view of my garden.  There is a tiki torch in my garden so the peas will grow up it and not on to my other plants.  The only thing that did not grow was my marigolds.  I think I might put something else there... maybe some lavender!  Lavender is my favorite!


 Dogs in their dog run....AWAY from my garden!

Here are some lilies that I planted back in February.  Aren't they pretty!

 
I love having a garden! It amazes me how fast the plants grow!
