The Garden - 2006

On Saturday Paul and I planted our garden. Paul designed and built the 4 raised beds and we have been slowly buying dirt and filling them in. We planted dozens of seeds and seedlings on Saturday afternoon in hopes of a lush and successful garden this summer. Thankfully we only got a little sunburned and walked away with some good hard working soreness. :)

Quick rundown -
Veggies: tomatoes (6 varieties), peppers (7 varieties), carrots (2 varieties), squash, zucchini, spinach, onion, garlic
Herbs: Basil (3 varieties), rosemary, dill, cilantro, Greek oregano, Italian flat leaf parsley
Flowers: marigolds (for root protection), zinnias (5 varieties), strawflower, bachelor buttons

For reference, this is the garden last year (a few weeks after planting)

I remember that garden from last year...looks like this year is like 3 times as awesome.

So why do you need 7 different kinds of peppers? And 2 kinds of carrots? Wow.
