One of the main reasons Tara and I bought our house was because of the size of the front and backyards. We knew we would have enough space to play with our kids, but also be able to grow a garden. We have grown smaller plants in the past, but have never had this much space. We grew a garden!
The strawberries came up on their own from the previous owners, but we added the white one. The white Strawberry is called a Hula Berry, which tastes like a pineapple. Super delicious!
We grew big beef, celebrity, sun gold cherry and martian giant. Most of our tomatoes were small, but we had a couple decent sized ones.
Unfortunately, our pumpkin plant was attacked by squash bugs and so we only got two pumpkins from this plant. 🙁
Cantaloupes are still growing as I write this. I think they are almost ripe. We have about 5 right now that are about the size of a softball.
We probably ended up with about 30 cucumbers. They were a nice snack that I would pick in the morning and eat at work for lunch.
We grew a garden! We had a lot of fun this year and hope to get a little bit more before the weather cools down. I plan on doing an even bigger garden next year and with my experience this year, everything should grow a lot smoother.
Did you do a garden this year? What’s your favorite thing to grow? Any suggestions for what we should grow next year?
