How does your garden grow?

Crazy me planted a garden this year. Not very big; I think it's 40 inches by 56 inches. And I only planted lettuce, carrots, green onions and tomato plants. 3 different kinds of tomatoes. (I want to see which ones do best and which ones we like best).The kids helped me plant it. I bought 3 bags of top soil specifically for vegetables and mixed it in with the dirt that was already there. Then I measured out spots and marked a straight line. We all made little holes and poured the seeds in. It was very windy that day. VERY WINDY. Each hole got way more seeds than necessary cuz the wind kept blowing them out of our hands.

Can you see the little clump of green? That's many lettuce plants. I'll be thinning them out once they get a little bigger. This picture was taken after only 5 days after being planted.

We shall see how this goes. I'll keep you "posted."
