Our First Real Garden

We attempted a small garden last year and learned there is such a thing as planting too much in a small place. We learned our lesson this year and expanded it about 3 times the size. We also added a better fence so the dogs could not get in and ruin it like last year. We planted the following
Beans, Onions, Zucks, Corn, Romaine Lettuce, Strawberries and 3 types of pumpkins. So, far we have harvested about 10 zucks, 2 bags FULL of beans, and 6 heads of romaine lettuce. Our corn is almost ready and the pumpkins are well on their way to Halloween time. It has been alot more work that we thought, but also very rewarding. We have learned new lessons this year that will hopefully make our garden next year even better.
Thanks, dad, for giving me my green thumb!
