Our Garden

As I mentioned before, I have started a garden! Now to realize how big of a deal this is to me, one must realize that I have had one or two (indoor) plants in my entire life and killed both of them in a matter of days. Let's hope my outdoor luck is a bit better :)
It all started with two little tomato plants last year that I attempted to grow in a grow bag. One plant sprouted a bunch of little cherry tomatoes and the other, well, I think we got about 3 worthy of eating tomatoes out of the whole plant. So this year, I have increased my probability of success by planting 11 tomato plants (so far, I still have nine more that I'm not sure what to do with): two romas and nine early growth. During our little outing to the Home Depot nursery, I also purchased a few gerber daisies and planted them in our yard along with a large hanging plant that I separated into two.

Here's a pic of my tomato garden on the south side of the house:

And one of the gerberas:

And, just for fun, one of my "helper" cleaning off her feet:
