Backyard garden update!

This season my garden’s getting an update! (Swipe to see where I started last year …I wanted to make sure I could handle a tomato plant 😅)

Since last year was successful I got a raised bed this year, some extra tomato plants, chocolate mint, basil and zucchini)

*tip if you have mint make sure to plant them on their own bc they take overrr*

I got my security guard to keep the birds away (his name is Hector) and so far so good I should start to see some veggies pop up in another month 😊🍅

... Read moreThis season, I am excited to share the upgrades in my backyard garden, especially after the success of my tomato plants last year. With the addition of a raised bed, I've included new varieties such as zucchini, basil, and chocolate mint. When growing mint, it's essential to isolate it in its own space to prevent it from overwhelming other plants. This planting season, I've adopted a creative approach to deter birds from nibbling on my garden, featuring my amusing garden guardian, Hector. He's been quite effective so far, keeping the pesky birds at bay! As the weeks go by, I look forward to seeing my hard work bear fruit and the variety of vegetables thrive. Join me on this gardening adventure, and don’t forget to check out the hashtags #gardenmakeover, #gardenforbeginners, #tomatoseason, and #raisedbedgarden for more inspiration.

Backyard Garden Update! Part 1
It’s been a while and a lot has grown! My husband desperately wanted to try growing our own watermelons this year so we grabbed a couple of starts from our local Tractor Supply and it’s done sooo well! We have yet to get a little melon to grow past the size of a quarter (too much rain recently)

🌽 Week 1 corn patch update!
One week ago I turned a kiddie pool into a corn patch. After adding drainage holes, filling it with soil, and planting corn in blocks, the first sprouts are finally starting to appear. Will this actually work? Honestly, I have no idea—but we’re about to find out together. 😂 #garden #backyard
