The Life and Death of a Veggie Garden

Well I guess to say death is a bit dramatic, but we're getting close. The pictures above show the garden in four stages, starting in July and ending today, October 22.

Our little garden was planted late in the season, making our seed selection at Urban Roots pretty limited. Mostly leafy greens, which I've tried very hard to eat and not just push around my plate, and carrots. Carrots!!

Love carrots. Though ours are mere toddlers, I'm told they should continue to grow through November. So maybe by thanksgiving we can have a small little bowl on the table, we'll see..

Our veggie garden is coming along nicely. I think I planted some carrots in there...maybe some radishes too? Should have kept better track.

clearly obsessed with before and after pictures..

These are the rhododendrons in our front yard last week..and today. I truly love spring.

Speaking of pretty purple flowers, can you believe there are actually places in the world that looks like this? I guess I never thought about what a lavender field would look like.

More spring surprises in the backyard. Purple is a great color.

what are these, does anyone know? love em.

these i know, and there really is not better smell than lilacs.

The best part of moving into a house in the fall are the surprise bulbs that pop up in the spring.
