I was amazed so I added more and more....
This is Oregano. My second batch...I already used the entire plant and it regrew.
This is my basil plant. It was a massive tree. It started growing flowers. I cut the entire bush down to the bottom. I dried most of the basil and the rest went to homemade pesto.
NOW, this is my most prized plant. The ten foot tomato plants!!! They grow to the roof of my house and then bend down. I literally had to tie them with zip ties to the screen of my porch! INSANE! Has anyone every seen anything that crazy?!
I grew three types of tomato: The Beefsteak Tomato
Cherry Tomato
Roma Tomato....My favorite. I love to make salsa with these babies! I also like to slice them very thin and use them as a pizza topping...mmmmhhhh
I planted lots and lots and lots of green beans.
This is for my Alexandra...She asked me to plant Sunflowers. She was working on the letter "S" in preschool and she tried Sunflower Seeds. Alex loved them and begged to plant some sunflowers. She helped me. They are now 10 feet tall. It is amazing a few months ago they were little seeds.
Beautiful sunflower that is the size of Alexandra's head.
They are about ten feet tall....As you can tell.... 
Cucumbers, but I have not seen any blooms...YET!
Watermelon BLOOMING!!!!!
More tomatoes....
This is Brussel Sprouts...They are turning out beautiful. Can't wait.
Jalapenos!!! A MUST in my house!!! My husband drinks with them in his beer!!! It was a Bobby Flay trick that my husband fell in love withI want to THANK Diana Bauman from A Little Bit Of Spain in Iowa. You are truly inspiration. I am honored to call you a friend. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Diana! For everything. Your blog, posts, advice and friendship! THANK YOU
ReplyDeleteI am jealous! I miss my yard in Dallas- one day, one day-
ReplyDeleteIs that jalapeno trick not the bomb!
I want to grow tomatos, but sadly don't any backyard. I wish I did. One day.
ReplyDeleteYour tomatoes look amazing!! I live in South Florida...I know herbs do well in the summer, but will the tomato continue even when it gets very hot in Aug and Sept? Did you start them from seed? Thanks for sharing...I always like to see what other Floridians are growing. I grow in containers and also use the square foot gardening method.
ReplyDeleteMaranda my babygirl is growing a garden too! Her and Papa planted it a couple of months ago and she's been tending it all by herself. She loves it and I'm loving all the fresh herbs I have now. You really have a garden, very impressive!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden, I am so jealous! How do you deal with the bugs. I tried a few herbs last year and had big problems with flies and spiders.
ReplyDeleteWOW! The difference between Florida and Vermont - We had a fire in the wood stove this afternoon. Lovely garden you have there,
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Your garden's amazing. I'm living in a condo in Singapore. One of the many facilities in our community is a Vege Garden, where residents put together their efforts to plant Chillies, Pandan Leaves, Spring Onions etc. I like the spirits here :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little garden you have :) Where in Ohio are you from? I was born in raised in Northwest Ohio :) One year my dad planted tomato plants and they grew as tall as yours. It must have been something in the water that year...
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I miss my gardening too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a flourishing and healthy garden...you truly put me to shame! Isn't it such a sense of pride to use your own garden fresh herbs, fruits and veggies. I luv it...so inspired to add more. Inspiring post - thx for sharing.
