Remember back in May when I posted these pictures of our 2 day old garden?
Here’s the growth as of June.

Here’s the growth now! You can see that the sunflowers got a little out of hand, so Jason ended up culling out over half of them. We’re pretty sure they were sucking all the water out of the ground and depriving the veggies of the water they needed.
But they sure are pretty. Especially this variety. (Don’t ask me what they’re called… I’m new at this, remember!)
And it’s fun to watch the birds feed on them too. They’ve been having a field day with these flowers- They’ve about picked them to death!
We are being overtaken by WATERMELONS!!!
I’m glad we culled those 7 seedlings down to 3… Or we may not have had a backyard left at all after they got through with it!
And don’t forget about our carrots. I’ve been dreaming of making a pot of homemade soup with my prize carrots….. unless they take off with the growing, looks like I need to rethink my ingredient list…
I think we may try to do a bigger garden next year with more veggies. We’ve had fun watching everything grow and can’t wait to taste the fruits of our labor!

Love the carrots. They rival the carrots we grew this year, haha. We're definately going to do better next year! ...the watermelon look awesome!

I LOVE seeing pics of your garden -- you guys have done a great job! Austin decided that he wanted a garden this summer, but so far, we've only had 4 green onions & 2 half-bug-eaten tomatoes come out of it. Oh well... it's super fun regardless!
The watermelons look amazing! Did you guys do anything special to get them to grow; ours are stunted! :)
Keep it up -- you inspire me to do better! :)
