garden update...
So, last night we went home after work, and made some quick dinner, ate, and headed to meet Theresa in the garden!
On the way over, one of our neighbors, Magdeline, who is an older lady (probably in her eighties), was going by on her way to the store. She doesn't get around very well anymore, so sometimes when she goes to dump her trash we'll take it for her and help her back to her apartment or whatever. Anyway, I took her over to the store to get bread, milk, and ice cream, and then brought her back to her apartment, and we had a good chat on the way. She is the sweetest lady, so friendly and nice.
Anyway, I then headed over to the garden to meet Trina and Theresa, who had marked out an area for the herbs and the tomatoes and a pathway down the middle of the garden where we're going to put stepping stones later. We commenced planting, and by about 8.30, we had everything (starts and seeds) in the ground and watered!
Did I mention that there's a beautiful lilac bush that hangs over one end of our garden area? :) Yay!
This morning before I headed to the bus, I snuck out to take a few more pictures of things:
One of our cucumber plants:
Walla Walla Sweet Onions, and two of our tomato plants:
More of our tomato plants:
The herb section:
Strawberries!
Wild Strawberries!
So, there you have it. We'll keep updating with pictures as things progress. We're so excited for yummy produce and for growing things! Hooray!
