A Garden Tour.....

Recently we have been spending a lot time in the garden since the weather has gotten nice!

we planted tomatoes, peas, spinach, all kinds of peppers, squash and two kinds of beans. with more to come! I think planting okra is next.

Here are some pictures I took of the garden so far.......

These are our black berry plants.

We just put them in not to long ago, so I don't think we will get much fruit off them this year.

This is view of the garden from the back

We are in the process of putting down gravel walkways, the black landscaping fabric is all we have done in some places. My brother and Dad have done a great job so far!

We like the gravel walkways best because it keep the weeds down and you can walk out there barefoot! We have terrible grass burs so the gravel helps t keep them down as well.

Some of the herbs in the herb garden.

Oregano (the huge plant!) and Fennel (the feathery one)
We also have planted in the herbs garden: spearmint, lemon balm, bee balm, bay laurel, a rose that makes rose hips, several other kinds of mints, lavender, comfrey and parsley.

I'm hoping to get some more herbs soon!

Comfrey

This is a wonderful herb to grow!

It gets really big and is easy to grow.
And it makes pretty purple flowers too!

This is the other side of or garden!

The plants aren't very big in this picture, they have grown a lot since I took this picture!

My blueberry plants!

I'm very excited about get these.

Blueberries are my favorite fruit!

Aren't these pansys pretty?
Mom planted them under a big pink rose bush.

One of the prettier of our chickens!

They are getting quite old , so soon we are hoping to get some new.



I really like working in the garden!

It is so refreshing to be outside listening to the birds, marveling over the lady bugs that took up residency on the pea plants, and just being surrounded by what the Lord created!

Do any of you have a garden planted this year?

What are you planting?

I like to hear about what other people are planting. It gives me ideas on what we might add. :)
