my first real garden

Despite my many failed attempts over the past few years at having a green-thumb, I decided to go all out and plant a vegetable garden in our back yard. Much to my surprise, things started growing! yay! Hopefully by the end of the summer, and after hundreds of hours of work, we might have a couple vegetables!
I planted tomatoes (6 different kinds), sugar snap peas, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, onions, zucchini, pumpkin, cantaloupe and cucumber. Also, I have a little strawberry patch and a failed attempt at lettuce which are not pictured here. In the picture above, the garden is covered with thousands of little white seeds which have been floating down from the trees and getting into everything. Those seeds are worse than firebugs! (well, on second thought, maybe not...)

Since the backyard is way too big to mow all of it, the landlords have just let the back half become overgrown. So most of our back yard looks like a puffy jungle. Olive thinks it's heaven while Peter doesn't really like grass all that much. Hopefully the grass and weeds won't over take my little garden plot which I've spent so much time, money and effort on!
