victory garden phase 1

so, this is what phase 1 looks like...i planted almost everything

last saturday...and so far - everything is still living! hooray!!

i typically kill anything green.

we have strawberries, tomatoes, green beans, broccoli,

cucumbers & spearmint. i am going to add some more herbs

this week...cilantro, basil & lemon balm. if you have some suggestions,

please leave a comment! i am a rookie and need all the help i can get!

this is my gnome.

ben got him for me to protect my little

victory garden from deer, rabbits, raccoons and our dog, indigo.

once the sun goes down, he lights up! how fantastic is that?

i'll have to shoot him at night so you can see him in his element.
