Fruits & Vegetables

It looks like the end of the growing season for some veggies, like peas.  But my tomatoes and pumpkins are just starting to take off!

All in all, not to shabby for a girl with a brown thumb!  I’ll definitely be growing food next year, too.  But I’ll probably buy flower plants rather than grow them from seed.  It just took too long for them to come in and I spent most of my summer trying to figure out what was plant and what was weed.  That’s not what you want in a garden.

It seems that my first summer of gardening was a success! See how I went from a brown thumb to having a thriving garden.
