jonahbonah Grows a Garden

A few years ago when we lived in this house the first time we had a garden.  Then, when we got to Fort Campbell we planted another small garden.  We love the fresh fruits and veggies but, we also love the sense of accomplishment and seeing our hard work pay off.  Feeding our family right from the backyard is certainly a perk, as well.

This year we planted two small gardens!  One has different varieties of tomatoes and peppers and there's even a row of kale and carrots.  The other has cucumbers, watermelons, squash and cantaloupe.



Hubs also planted two apple trees, a lemon tree, an orange tree and a banana tree.  {McKinley is convinced the banana tree will lure monkeys into our backyard!}



Oh, and sunflowers!



Y'all, we are going to have quite the selection when our plants begin yielding crops!  And I can't wait!

{Hubs planted the watermelon and cucumbers from seeds and only days later there were sprouts.  YAY!}

{"momma, water me!}


{these banana peppers are SPI-CY!}



Do you have a garden?  What all do you have planted?
