Happy Saturday, everyone!
Around February or so, Thomas started planting a small garden next to our house. A tree used to stand there, but it was taken out by “THE tree” (by that I mean the one that fell on our house way back when).
Here’s the garden when it first started, just a few boards and some dirt.
I won’t lie…this garden has NOTHING to do with me. I literally watered it once, so I want to make sure Thomas gets to take complete ownership and credit for the awesomeness:]
He just took this photo of the garden this morning, after we had harvested some of it’s veggies (which you’ll see below).
This morning, that blank space on the left was occupied by potatoes. Sadly, I got the idea for this post after Thomas had dug them all up, but all the same.
Here’s what he’s growing:
Zucchini.
Tomatoes.
Thyme.
Parsley.
Note: Not pictured are Rosemary, lettuce, and peppers.
This isn’t growing in the garden, but is right beside it. It’s an esparanza, and I love it!
Also not in the garden, but still worth showing, Thomas’ birthday peach tree.
Here is today’s harvest, red and yellow potatoes, as well as a few zucchini. Aren’t they beautiful?!
As we harvest other things (tomatoes, lettuce, etc.) I’ll continue to photograph them with their grower.

Thank you for sharing Thomas’ garden. It gives me hope that not only is it possible, you can actually get plenty of veggies to eat!
I’m glad to hear that you were inspired by our little garden. Thomas has had lots of fun planting and tending it, and there’s nothing like munching on fresh veggies you grew yourself!
Reblogged this on Pyper1384's Blog and commented:
Many people miss the connection that agriculture is not a native thing for us homo sapiens; let alone that our current way of life is relatively new. Farmers Markets celebrate the joy many people get from growing food and is a great social activity as well. If I was rich, I would never buy from the mega chain supermarket, unfortunately there are some things that I must buy. Well, most things really. At this point in time, everything. I am hoping my onions at least take off. I was doing really well with my celery but my over exuberant dog decided to try and bring in squirrel for dinner and slid through my poor celery. Ah well, I will buy another stalk and try again soon. I just read a really fkun blog which prompted this one! So I am going to share. Enjoy!
Good growing!
