My Garden

I have some good news and bad news about my cute little garden. The bad news...I sectioned off my garden and planted a bunch of flowers (the bulbs) and none of them grew! I guess right now just isn't the right time for flowers in Santa Barbara. The good news...My pepper plant and some weird looking lettuce-ish plant is still growing!! Hurray :)


It makes me happy because I love green peppers so I feel like I can actually use and eat some of the things my garden is producing. The weird looking lettuce-ish thing is just cool to look at and to be able to say that something is growing, but that pretty much is the only reason we've kept it. I'm not gonna eat it, but I will probably cook with the green pepper. When we very first got our garden plot the people before us didn't take very good care of it and the weeds were completely out of control. Daniel and I have worked really hard on it to make it look half way decent. My mom and my sister came out to visit and weeded my garden for me while I first recovering from having my baby. It looked great when they were finished. Lately the rains have started coming more frequent and the weeds are starting to grow really fast. I need to get out there soon and weed the whole thing again or it will turn into a jungle.

It's so fun having my own little garden!
