This year was our first making a garden and man have we ever screwed up! lol Seriously though we have a jungle in our backyard and the 4×6 foot space we designated a garden just isn’t cutting it. We did not anticipate how big and wild these plants grew! Someone should have warned us. This pic was taken a week ago, it has grown so much even since then!
Our tomato plant is growing and has teeny tomatoes on it but they won’t grow or turn red. Our basil is like a freaking bush, anyone need some fresh basil? The sting beans are climbing up the around the tomato wire thingy and pulling it out of the ground. The cucumbers have tons of yellow flowers but no cucs yet. The watermelon plants are true monsters, they are taking over the entire garden, intertwining themselves with the tomatoes and beans and climbing over the chicken wire fence trying to escape.
We have a lot to learn and have learned alot for next year, the kids are loving it and we are hoping to live off watermelons in a few weeks;)
Please share your gardening tips if you have any!
