Here is a little progress report of our garden from this summer!
Small beginnings...
Good things to come!
Always fun to see things triple in size after a big rain!
Both of our mint patches really took off this year - of course. But thankfully I'm a big fan of the very full English garden look, so I don't mind things that really spread out and give it a bit of a wild look.
I hope to have every part filled in someday and not see much mulch at all.
Next year I hope to have a big chamomile patch over by the little table.
The garden pup, Calla.
She's been a big fan of the lemongrass (right behind her head), which was a new addition to the garden this year. I'm really impressed with how large it has gotten in just a few short months.
Fun to see her munch on it! She's the only one that's used it so far...
Up on our deck we have some tomatoes growing in pots.
We started this big fella from seed! It's a Baker Creek Heirloom seed, so my husband is attempting to save some of it's seeds this year and hopefully we'll have more in the future!
It was really good - meaty, not seedy, which is what I always look for in a tomato.
In full bloom!
Shout out to our chickens for all of the sunflowers! We give them sunflower seeds to eat, and then we used the chicken compost in our garden, and ended up with a bunch of volunteer sunflowers that we let grow in a couple different patches. It really cheered things up!
I think I'll let them do that every year.
Thanks for stopping by!
Blessings,
Olivia
