My garden!

Two weeks ago, tonight, Me and the two kids I was babysitting, planted our garden. We planted the vegetables and fruits in biodegradable cups so that after they sprout high enough, we can just put them in the ground. IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH THEY GROW IN JUST TWO WEEKS! They started sprouting within 5 days. I never knew gardening would be so cool and fun for me.

Here is my list of what I am planting:

1. Watermelon
2. Cantalope
3. Strawberries
4. Peas
5. Beans
6. Carrots
7. Beets
8. Broccli
9. Cauliflower
10. Radish
11. Cabbage
12. 2 kinds of Lettuce
13. Green onions
14. Yellow Onions
15. Cucumbers
16. Red peppers
17. Green peppers
18. Jalapeno peppers
19. Squash
20. Parsley
21. Sun sugar tomatoes (little orange cherry tomatoes)
22. Red cherry tomatoes
23. Large red tomatoes
24. Pumpkins
25. Corn
26. Chives
27. Basil
28. Dill

I am making sure I include my garden in my prayers because this is my first ever garden and experience growing anything. I am so excited! I also have 8 hanging baskets that I just planted all sorts of flowers in! Nothing has sprouted from those yet.
I am going to start my secound set of vegetables here in the next few weeks so that there will be two sets of same vegetables that will be ready in different months. I hope everything works out well. And if it does you better be ready for some home grown Fruits and Vegetables!
