| My garden spot |
I've managed to get my first plants into the ground, with bark to keep the weeds down on the left-hand side of my plot. In the foreground is my flower bed and strawberry patch. Then the three kinds of beans I planted, some cucumbers, fennel, and tomato plants. Here's a closeup of the flowers as of now:

| The heather is from last year's garden |
The only flower that made it from last year is the pink heather. There's also snapdragons, zinnias, and petunias. I'll keep you posted on their progress.

| Joe's Best spicy salad mix |
They don't look like much right now, but in just a few weeks, there should be enough for me to make a salad! At least they're not all droopy like they were when I first planted them. They only needed a day to decide to look pretty darn good! As you can see, I'm not much for nice neat rows. My mother always told me that plants do well with benign neglect, as long as you water them. We'll see!

A pleasant looking garden!
ReplyDeleteMy partner likes nice neat rows. I don't. He plants things that way, and I plant things in front and behind. His rows are still there - but you can't see them. Win/win (mainly for me).
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to watching your garden progress.
Your garden always does so well, watering or not :)
ReplyDeleteIt always impresses me to see the initial planting, and then just a few short months down the road, you are showing pictures of a harvested crop.
Can't wait.....

Good luck with your garden. I can't get my head around the need to water gardens in Bellingham. I did not water my garden once last summer.
ReplyDeleteHaving fun playing in the dirt again, I see.
ReplyDeleteI’ll be planting some things soon too. Yay for dirt!
ReplyDeleteLove watching your garden flourish!
ReplyDeleteIt is your garden you can plant it however you want! :)
ReplyDeleteGood work, DJan! I shall be waiting to see how your garden grows.
ReplyDeleteI always plant in wide rows as it lets you take advantage of limited garden space and seems to cut down on weeding. Can't wait to see your garden as it gets ready for the table.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have room in our new house for a garden. I gotta check to see if there's a community garden in town.
ReplyDeleteExcellent start to your garden.
ReplyDeleteBenign neglect! Love that. And so it begins...another gardening year. How exciting. :)
ReplyDeleteI love watching your plants grow from seed to your plate.
