How Does Our Garden Grow...

So about two months have passed since we first placed a few seeds in the grow boxes we made.

And look at that garden grow...


So far, we have harvested about 10 heads of lettuce and some overgrown cilantro and spinach. The problem with this whole gardening thing is that once the stuff has grown, we aren't exactly sure when to pick it. I'm sure it will be pretty clear with the tomatoes and pumpkins though.

The pumpkins are in the middle box along with some pole beans and cantaloupe. Basically, though, the vines of the pumpkins are trying to take over all three boxes. We're constantly guiding them away from the other plants.

The squash below are also doing pretty well. We have about a dozen already good-sized gourds. This one is about the size of a football.


We also have a few tomatoes, a bunch of beans, some basil, a watermelon, carrots, and onions that are showing promise. The peppers, cantaloupe and cucumbers all look good, but none have any fruit forming yet.

One more picture for good measure...
