First Big Harvest

This is possibly the most excited I've ever been since I started my garden!

It's not much compared to a lot other bloggers out there but this is my first time I got a significant harvest from my garden. :D Actual beans! Actual peas!! I can finally eat my lettuce!!! And I had a few more strawberries and rasberries but I kept eating them before I could bring them inside for a picture. Same goes for the peas lol. I never thought raw peas could taste so good!!! DELICIOUS :9

Tonight's dinner:

Scrambled eggs with side of garlic & butter sauteed beans and peas with a side of salad.

If only my chickens were laying eggs, I could make this meal with everything from the garden!! :D Minus the garlic and butter I guess. I need to grow garlic next year. And maybe get a cow haha.

Productive Saturdays

I got up and out to the garden super early and I've gotten so much work done already! And it's not even noon yet.

My basil never sprouted, but my friend had a bunch of sweet basil she had started so being the uber awesome friend that she is, she split some with me :)

I thought she had given me just 4 plants or so but when I split them up I ended up having a whole row of 12 or so basil plants :D

It looked so nice having herbs in the bed (My cilantro and parsley are currently in pots) I decided to expand and transplanted 2 rows worth of cilantro :)

I think this bed is pretty much full now. Maybe I can plant one more row of herbs and fill up the dead space by the peas with some brassicas or sumthin.

Transplanting Beans

I made a teepee for my beans today since they're growing so fast! I transplanted my 4 plants but one of them is starting to shrivel up :( Hopefully it likes the bigger bed better and recovers soon.

The teepee is made from the stakes I collected the other night and some twine I had left over from making the other trellises.

So I've never grown anythign before so I really don't know what I'm doing when I make these structures. It's all trial and error. If they don't work I can make a better one next year I suppose! :D
