A Garden Update

Well, this is the first time ever that I have been able to consider a second crop. I've never yielded anything from the first half of the season before, so there's never really been a point to planting more. 

Not only was this my first successful gardening year, but everything I planted grew!

Last week, I pulled and tilled more than half of my garden to ready it for another round. 

I transplanted nine tomato plants and four pepper plants, all of which I grew from seeds! 

I also planted two different kinds of lettuce and two different kinds of spinach again. That is by far my favorite vegetable to grow and have fresh on hand each day. I may even try to grow it indoors during the winter months (if that's possible?). 

I was pretty discouraged about my carrots. who I planted in the beginning of spring and still came out as little roots a couple weeks ago when I last checked them. But while I was tilling I pulled a couple of stalks on accident, and LOOK what I unturned:

SO sweet and cute, and ever so tiny.

The second one I pulled was three times this width, twice it's length, and maroon (kaleidoscope). I proudly ate them both, as silly as that may sound, and I can not wait to pull them all up at the end of the season!!! 

I'm already making my plans about next years gardens. :)
