See my garden grow

We are having so much fun as we watch our garden grow.  This first picture is a picture of our herbs.  We have basil, oregano (one of my favorites), and parsley.  There is also a red bell pepper plan (I had to have one more of those!).  I am on the look out for some cilantro.  Haven't found any yet, but I LOVE cilantro.

Here are half of our grean bean plants.  They are our fastest growing plants.  Can't wait to get some grean beans!

These are our bell pepper plants- green ones I think. We planted a mixture, so I am not entirely sure.  If they are all green, its a good thing I bought some red too!

Our onions.  Almost time to thin them out... I can't wait to get homegrown onions!

Up until last night, when my daughter decided to pick a tomato way too early, we had eight tomatoes.  Sweet!  These are the things that my husband I are really excited for!  Homegrown tomotoes kick the socks of those from the store.

I also planted marigolds last night.  We noticed that some of our plants have bug bites on the leaves.  I did not want to use a pesticide, so I have been researching natural/organic pest control ideas, and marigolds are super good for keeping the pests away, so now we have marigolds planted in the center of our garden.  They sure have a strong smell!  They also add a little bit of color which is super nice.  I will keep you updated so you could watch our garden grow.  Can't wait to post recipes with stuff we use from our garden.  Wahoo!
