Things are growing

We've been having a lot of rain here in GA lately.  It seems like every other year is super rainy and the others are dry and hot.  Hey, at least there is less watering to be done.  And more water is conserved.

Things are starting to grow.  I container garden because my husband is picky out the yard.  The only thing in the ground is some cucumbers and pole beans.

I am shocked with how easy everything is to maintain.  Thankfully there haven't been any bugs or pests yet.  I had a problem last year with the birds eating my stuff so I stuck an owl in the yard.  Not had problems since.

I don't know why I have rosemary.  I never eat it.  But it keeps the mosquitos away, right?

These are some heirloom tomatoes my husbands grandfather grew.  He just passed so hopefully I can keep the heritage going.

I am going to have to learn about strawberries.  It may just be the timing, but I have had to throw away 10 so far because they looked...wrong.  I would never have eaten them.  They were split and rotten looking but oddly still plump.

Cannot wait to harvest these guys.  And I should get 2 harvest in a year.  I got just a basic carrot, but if I am successful I would like to try some heirlooms.  Carrots seem so much cooler purple.  You should read up on the history of carrots, its pretty interesting.

I am one proud mama with these beauts.  I see a lot of salsa in my future.  especially since I have 5 tomato plants going.  That was not my intention, but that is what happened.  I plan to make the most of it.
