Our garden.........

We planted our second ever vegetable garden about two and a half months ago. The first garden we planted at our old house was a huge flop, and the birds ate almost everything. This year we planted & covered everything in bird netting. So far our tomatoes and cucumbers are doing great. At first we had blossom end rot on some of the tomatoes, but they are doing much better now. We also had a bout of tomato horn worms....ewwww. Luckily we discovered them while they were still small, so they didn't eat too much of the plants, and Hailey got to keep some as pets! The corn is growing like CRAZY. When we were gone for two days to Pindale it literally grew two feet. We have been telling Hailey to look for the "hairy" looking part, because that is what the corn looks like at first. She's been looking for awhile now, and today she spotted the first corn! She was SO excited. We also planted carrots & radishes but forgot to thin them out, so they didn't really take off. We have a jalapeno plant that hasn't produced anything yet, so we'll see. We are just having lots of fun with our first productive garden.
