Garden Update



I have grown fresh produce. I feel like Tom Hanks in Castaway when he made fire. My garden is growing great and I had a fresh salad tonight to prove it.



The broccoli heads are coming along nicely and will be ready to pick soon. I have to go buy some tomato and green pepper plants this week and get them in the ground. My green beans have already sprouted and I saw the first squash plant peeking through the dirt tonight when I watered.



I also have a rogue sunflower growing(check it out in the foreground of the photo). I'm pretty sure it blew in from the bird feeder and germinated. That's okay though, I'll enjoy the flower and dry the head to feed to the birds this winter.
