The Garden of 2012!

We have finally planted our garden and it has started to grow!!
About 3 weeks ago we finally put the seeds/plants in the ground. We changed some things around from last year.
We will have plenty to eat and share!
We began with 2 half rows of corn, 1 full row and 2 half rows of green beans, 3 summer squash, 3 zucchini, 3 cabbage, 6 cucumbers, 3 cauliflower, 7 broccoli, 4 banana peppers, 4 jalapeno peppers, 3 red peppers, 4 green peppers, 16 tomatoes (8 different kinds), and 8 romaine lettuce...
I wasn't lying when I said we would have enough to share!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As of this past weekend our 3 zucchini plants bit the dust! So we went ahead and replaced 2 zucchini plants and decided to get daring...  We now have watermelon, canteloupe, spaghetti squash, and butternut squash!! There are also approximately 30 random tomato plants growing in our garden all around!! We began pulling some but I think we may leave a few that appeared in some pretty good spots!

More pictures to come! Things have grown quite a bit, especially with all the rain we have had!
