About us : We are not experienced Gardners. Here is a little of What happened by chance and a Little of what we intended. At the end of each day, we grew as gardners along with the plants in our garden. Every day when we
look at the broad and bright green leaves of some these plants, we feel great that they generate Oxygen, provide shelter for birds and bugs and give us fresh Produce. All that you need to grow a healthy individual.
And now Here are a few Pictures from Our garden.
From the spring of 2008 We got busy preparing the raised beds to start a vegetable garden.
We really did not have much of a plan as to what we would grow. After preparing 2 Boxes with the wood planks we got from Lowes, We filled it with Garden soil and mulch.
While it was still kind of chilly here in Arizona in February we started throwing in all the vegetable wastes from the kitchen into the raised beds.
One fine day morning after cutting up a cantaloupe we dumped the peels & seeds into the raised beds.
Soon these seeds sprouted, and not long before they started growing big and strong. After a few Weeks we got our first Cantaloupes. The first harvest of 3 Cantaloupes were not the size you get a Grocery store. About 1/4 th the size of a regular cantaloupe.
We bought a few saplings of strawberries, Tomato and Sweet Peas from Target.
We distributed them between the two boxes. Not knowing how overwhelming it would turn out after a while.
We got a few Cages to support the Tomato and Pea plants.While it was still kind of cold in February and March, the sweet pea started to Bloom.
The Blooms were a beautiful Snow White. These flowers do resemble the Exotic Orchids. Here enjoy a few of those Sweet Pea Flowers.
Transformation from flowers to Beautiful Peas. We did not have a Huge crop of Peas. But my son enjoyed them straight from the plant.
These Peas were sweet and had a nice body unlike the frozen sweet peas.
