Side note: Stephen is my editor and checks my posts before I publish them. He stated that I must include the following,
...and I quote:
"Make sure to mention how this was horrible, awful, terrible, back-breaking work that took multiple days and 3 truck loads of dirt."
End quote.
Moving on.
After getting the dirt in, we started planting.
First, tons of herbs. There is nothing like fresh herbs.
Rosemary, thyme, mint, basil, oregano, cilantro, parsley, lavender and sage.
We also planed tomatoes (at the end)
And from seed we planted zucchini....
cantaloupe, chives, carrots, squash, turnips and bell peppers.
We are pretty excited to see it all grow.
Stephen started sweet talking the tomato plant as soon as we got it.
He reassured it that he would take better care of it than the last tomato plant (which he let die).
We named it Linguini and the grape tomato plant Penne. Since they are going to be used to make pasta sauce.
Oh, you don't name your plants?
That's just a crazy thing we do?
Like at the last house when we had a "George" bush.
Anyways...

Nothing more fun than watching your veggies/herbs etc grow. Can't say that I've ever named my plants, but might not be a bad idea. Picked our first red/ripe tomatoes today..Michael has already eaten half of what we picked for lunch..thankfully, it appears there are many more ripe, red tomatoes in our near future.
Great work!!! The garden area is really nice and the gate is very impressive :)
Patrick keeps giving our garden Miracle Grow. It looks great but not sure Miracle Grow is good for us.
