How does your garden grow?

First I wanted to share our yard with you. We recently got rid of the gravel from our backyard and put sod in. We started by rototilling the ground.


Then we added peat moss and compost and rototilled that in as well.


(nice pile of rocks we pulled out of there huh?)

Then we laid the sod, planted tomatoes by the rose bush (in the back corner), and planted bell peppers, bush style green beans, cucumbers, pumpkins, and carrots by the patio.


We have since added cherry tomatoes that we got from a friend at work. Due to the amount of sand rather than soil we have, we were quite pleased when things started to grow. The tomatoes and bell peppers that we planted were especially worrisome since it looked like they were more likely to die. So having the blossoms appear on the tomato plants was really exciting!

  2. Okay. You got me. I'm pretty sure Gambare is "Congratulations" or something of that nature, but I've lost the rest.
