Garden Rising

My garden is looking better and better with each new sunny day and dowsing rain. I've already harvested three spinach plants, and one radish! This is my first real garden and it's what I call my "trial-and-error garden." I've noticed some of my rows are not really rows, but rather a pile of vegetable plants growing (due to my cats digging). My cats are rather adventurous, so keeping them out has been a HUGE challenge.

This is the start of my garden, its about 15'x 5'. I'm growing corn, spinach, cabbage, carrots, onions, beets, radishes, lavender, basil, lemon thyme, tomatoes, dill, bush beans, dahlias, and green peppers.



















I also planted a strawberry patch. There is nothing better than picking and eating a dirty warm strawberry, trust me!



















My cat Indiana Jones, he likes to sit in the strawberry patch because its cool. Plus it matches his eye color.



















Here are some extra photos I took of the flowers in around my house. I mostly like them because they hide the "ugly" parts of my house!



































The new compost bin. It works so much better than a cardboard box. Plus it has handles, so it's easier to move. Love's it!
