Green Beans and Peas--we've since staked these and added in some lima beans, cilantro and I *think* we have some potatoes coming up from the previous owners

Some of our roses from our bush--under the bush we planted some wildflower seeds but they never came up so instead we have a lovely weed garden that I need to clean out and work on

This is our herb garden full of lemon balm, chives (which I learned just last night is WONDERFUL chopped up together and rubbed on chicken....whoda thought, huh?!  Anyway, We also have about 2 LARGE bushes of a mystery herb that we've yet to ID and would love some help on.  Then in the background, we have 4 tomato plants and 6 squash plants.

This is our corn and pumpkin hills in which I HOPING will sprout soon....otherwise we'll have gone through our second package of dud seeds.  I'll update if things change.....

Ok, on the top of the picture here are our strawberry plants and we've actually been able to get a few off of there now which has been fun for us all.  In the middle I have planted some pepper plants and they are doing "just ok".  This gardening novice is learning as I go.  In the tire are some more of those "wildflower seeds" that didn't take and now we have some weeding to do.  Then, all the way at the bottom we have our asparagus that came up earlier this year.  We had asparagus grilled with red peppers, onions and mushrooms last night for dinner and it was definately something that we couldn't get enough of.  WONDERFUL!!!

So, that's our gardening venture and we've had a good time with it so far.  We're all learning a lot and I'm already thinking of things I'll do differently next year!  lol
