Say Hello to my Little Garden

I have finally started gardening!!!  Well technically I have been gardening for a few weeks now. But yesterday I actually bucked down and started putting my seeds into the ground, and the items we brought from the Wilmington Flower Market into the pots.

So here is the scoop:

I have 4 garden raised garden beds.  I received the lumber for free :) And with the help of my sister and my friend Steve, we put them together.  Very simple yes, I was just having horrible pain flare ups and could barely hold a hammer.  We tilled the earth using a hand tiller. Let me tell you now, OH MY GOD THAT SUCKS! I had to have my nephew come in and help me.

So far I have:

• lettuce
• cucumber
• zucchini
• brussel sprouts
• tomatoes
• peppers
• lavender
• mint
• parsley
• strawberries (putting in the ground today)
• grapes (putting in the ground today)

This is my first time, EVER gardening. So I am no expert by any means. Much of what I have learned has been through friends who are seasoned gardeners, and the net. But if anyone has any questions, I will be glad to help any way I can.

i've never been more happy to have dirt in all of my life!
