Our area is 12+ inches OVER our annual rainfall already
However, I am counting on the rain being less and am starting my garden.
I have plants and am not going to try seeds since I am running behind.
I am actually going to try the Topsy Turvy's with my squash, tomatoes, and jalapenos.

My herb garden is in the kitchen window.

I was able to put my garden right outside my kitchen this year and am working on a small patio.

Pics to follow soon!

1. Here are some pics of my works in progress
Here is the piece of my courtyard that will become a sitting area--patio--and room for some containers. I got it tilled up before the rain started...again.:(


Here is the area of my courtyard that I will be building my square foot garden. This is what the other side looked like before I attacked it with my tiller.


Here are my Topsy Turvy's with zucchini and cucumbers in progress


Here are my containers with my tomatoes and peppers


Here is my lovely granddaughter planting her sunflowers


This weekend (weather permitting...box will be done and I will be planting radishes, green beans, summer squash, butternut squash, cantaloupe, and am going to try my hand at cabbage.

We also have picked out a pumpkin patch in a different area. Should be fun! Hope to keep progress updated!
