Slowly but surely

We are slowly making progress, mainly in our little bed. In the past, Phil has led the gardening campaign but this year with the bathroom renovation (the bathroom is now functional!) I've been doing the little bit of gardening that has been done.

Small Bed

The small bed has pole beans and cucumbers growing int he back row. There are lettuces in the front row and I planted some cilantro seeds in there yesterday too. Cilantro is the only herb I've ever successfully grown from seed. We also have the two green pepper plants donated by Greg. 3 strawberry plants, last year's cat nip and lavender are in this bed as well. There are two squares of carrots too!

Big Bed

The big bed still looks sad. There are 4 tomato plants and some marigolds. I also planted two squash seeds yesterday. My plan was to plant some bush beans as well but when I went to our seed storage I couldn't find any and then remembered that I planted the last of them last year. The Lowes by our house is no longer selling seeds so I had to ask a coworker this morning if she had any to spare.

Cat nip that I brought inside over the winter.
It survived and it is thriving now that it is back outside.

Last year's lavender. I wasn't sure if this guy was
going to make it but it has new growth so I am expecting it to
continue to grow.

Strawberries! This is the first year I've planted these early enough to get fruit. 

And here is a quick shot of the bathroom. We still need to put some finishing touches on it but we can use it which is the most important part! Phil did such a great job. It is beautiful! I'll post some better pictures once we are all the way finished.
