From the Ground Up: Garden Edition

It's time for a weekly garden update! I can't believe how fast everything is continuing to grow.  We've made a few additions since my last post.  We now have cages for the tomato plants and Jep planted some french marigolds. One of the things we've learned from Bart over at HeadSpace is that these marigolds can help ward off harmful insects.

Special note: No pesticides to date...we'll see how things work with the marigolds. "We're keepin' it organic." --Jep

Our lettuce is about ready to be picked and we'll be enjoying some fresh salad this week!



The cherry tomato plant is still doing awesome! Lots and lots are sprouting up!


And...here is another angle of the garden that shows off the cucumber and cayenne pepper (new addition!) plants.
