Our Veggie Garden

     Our landlord is pretty lucky to have renters like us. We have put countless hours into the yard even though the owners don't care about it at all. I wish we were the type of people who just didn't care, but with my own Mom as a certified Master Gardener, and Ryan's Dad being a big gardener also, neither Ryan or I can stand to just have it be ugly and overrun with weeds. In addition to just regular yard work, we MAJORLY weeded the 3 beds that were already there for veggies and planted them about 3 weeks ago. We can't wait to see how everything does!
Step 1: weed (this was the one with the LEAST amount of weeds after we had done 1/2 of it!)
Step 2: Add fertilizer and better soil
Step 3: Shovel it all together
Step 4: Plant everything
The same view 3 weeks later!
Box 1: Varieties of Tomatoes
Box 2: Basil, Zucchini, Cucumber, Grn. Pepper, Rd. Pepper, Yellow Squash
Box 3: Cucumber, Grn. Beans, Tomato, Zucchini (Ryan's first garden trelis- we're looking forward to seeing the beans climb! hopefully it works.)    
Also planted the flowers below the rose trees. Makes such a difference.
