Our garden...

A garden is a learning experience. So far we have eaten lettuce out of our garden and it tasted like dirt. Aaron was concerned that I did not wash it. I did : ) I may not be the best cook but I can clean lettuce. Anyway it has grown and looks like a thriving garden, but so far we haven't had much produce from it. I have a few tomatoes, a green chile, and some zuccini. So the next time I grow a garden I will remember this:

Support cages for my tomatoe plants. The wind ripped out two of them. I knew I needed them in the first place, but I was to lazy to go buy them.

Don't plant garlic. I planted four garlic plants and they all rotted, I left them in the ground to long I think. We also don't eat that much garlic.

Its too hot for my poor cucumbers. They gave out this week.

So next spring I will only plant tomatoes, squash, and peppers. I think I will do more research too.
