So the apartment we live in has a great little back yard, about 10 ft by 15 ft. I've been wanting to get a garden going ever since we moved and I even sketched out my ideas at the end of last summer. We finally got it going this spring. Here is a little time lapse of our back yard:
The end of January:
The girls helped me dig up all the weeds and mutant mint plant. |
We did this about a week before Emily's due date and the same day they stripped my membranes. It was supposed to send me into labor but it didn't. |
The girls were great supervisors. |
Ryan building our grow box :) |
Our baby tomato and pepper plants and bean seeds that you can't see. |
A lemon tree!! |
Hydrangea |
Geranium |
Spanish Lavender |
I made us a little table for all our small potted plants :) |
Our cilantro |
Another friend gave us this Loganberry (It is a cross between a blackberry and raspberry) |
All our seeds are up! |
Our hydrangea, geranium, and rosemary |
How it looks now (Mid June):
The tomatoes are about 5 ft high. |
Our loganberry and little fuchsias. |
Our chives and thyme in back, the girls' flowers in the small pots in front and I haveno idea what the big thing in the middle is (it was given to us). |
