Introduction

I thought it might be fun to share a little bit about the garden this year and this could be a good format.

First off - I am expanding the existing garden - total space is now 864 square feet over two gardens.

We are doing 7 different kinds of tomatos - Better Boy, Cherokee Purple, Early Girl, Iidi (a yellow tomato), Juliet, Margherita and Super Sweet 100s. For a total of 20 plants.

We are doing 3 types of cucumbers (after our visit to my parents) I expanded the cucumber section of the garden because Cole ate 3 very large cucumbers whole.  We are planting 12 cucumber plants

We are also growing carrots (48), corn (52) , okra (7) , onion (24), peppers (4), pumpkin (3), and squash (4).

We are also growing basil, cilantro, dill, lavender, oregano and strawberry spinich herbs as well as merigolds and a lot of sun flowers - those are going to be planted along the left side of the garden and continue up the little strip on the garden side of the fence to the garage. 

Here is a picture of the plan - without the little strip - but you can see the start of the sun flowers to the left. 

And of course we have our blackberry bush along that strip as well.
