How Does Your Garden Grow?

This year is the first time I've ever spent the summer season home in Connecticut, so I took this summer as a chance to try my own vegetable garden. My father built a raised bed so it could be filled with high quality soil and keep the weeds at bay.

I chose only veggies and herbs I love- 3 varieties of tomato, orange bell peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, sugar snap peas, cilantro, tons of basil, and lettuce. I'm using this year as a chance to see what works and what doesn't, so I can adjust my planting in future years.

waiting was the hardest part.

success!

pea blossoms. finally!

I'm living alone this summer, so I'll be bringing lots of produce to my neighbors and classmates!
For next year, I'm hoping to add a cutting garden for flowers somewhere in the yard.
