Garden

For years our church has been telling us that we need to know how to grow a garden and that we SHOULD have a garden. We have moved so much and the houses we rent have gardners attached. (Its a Fresno thing for sure!) Well the gardners spray the ground so weeds won't grow so they wont have to pull them. So the ground is not the best for starting a garden, not to mention that there really isn't a good place to put one. We have really felt that we need to learn how to garden and why not do it in something that we can take with us when we move. Jeff thought about it and his crazy brain came up with the idea,(I think he has seen it somewhere before) with trying out planting in rain gutters. WHY NOT? And I thought, Lets put some stuff in pots! WHY NOT? And Klaira wanted some flowers, so WHY NOT?
Klaira and Jeff went shopping and came back with some seeds, soil and gutter stuff. I had the pots..LOOK AT OUR GARDEN!

A strawberry plant that Klaira ate the one and only strawberry that was on it and said that it was perfect!


In our pots we have herbs, squash, peppers and a tomato plant and flowers.

In the gutters we have radishes and onions.

In the ground we have Sun Flowers and Carrots and we have a crazy Black Berry bush that last year did not do to well and so Jeff chopped the snot out of it and this year it came back very happy. The test will be this summer when the berries come out. Not a bad start! I like our little garden!
