project 2: elle's garden

Elle really wanted to plant a vegetable garden this year. The challenge was finding a sunny, flat spot! We decided that the small garden at the top of the driveway would be a good place. I had planted some flowers and herbs in it a few years ago so I transplanted the flowers to a different location and we got to work moving the rocks.

It was a big job and took a long time. There were a lot of rocks there!

It got a late start but so far we have harvested 1 jalapeno pepper. There are baby tomatoes growing and the fresh herbs are fun to have again. There is still an area at the one end for planting some lettuces and radishes. The other veggies we have planted are cabbages, brussel sprouts, yellow squash, bell peppers and egg plant. I love that clematis blooming in the picture. I have a new spot for it to go in but it was already so entangled in the trellis by the time I was ready to move it so we are just enjoying it's blooms here this year.

Looks great! That will be fun for Elle to see the fruits of her labor. Having a garden is so money saavy and tastes SO much better than store bought! (:
