The Garden

This is a peach tree that is in our backyard.
A couple of the limbs had to cut because they were dead when we bought the house, but the tree seems to be doing really well.
This is what the peaches look like right now!
I don't like peaches a whole lot, but I'm hoping these taste good!
Well this is our garden. We decided to try a raised garden. We got a great deal on the "garden mix" dirt, we got what we paid for. Haha, it's not very good dirt and has many rocks in it. We currently have a compost, so by the time we plant next year we should have a lot better soil to work with. We have made many mistakes and have learned a lot. This is the first time either one of us have Ever tried gowing anything. We planted it a month ago. We are amazed at how much has grown in such a short period of time. My goal is to enjoy at least one thing from all I planted.
These are our cucumber plants.
By far our most successfull thing we planted.
In fact they are beginning to take over the garden.

These are the tomato plants we planted from seed.
All the other tomato plants were given to us by our backyard neighbors.
They are great with plants and have taught us so much!

I wanted to show how tall everything is. So you can use me as a reference.





The plants circled are watermelon plants.
