how our garden grows

We planted our first garden last year in containers mostly with a few in the ground too. We loved having the fresh herbs and tomatoes. The kids loved watching them grow and it was a great way for them to see where food comes from.

This year we made our little garden bigger. We planted 6 or 7 tomato plants, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, onions, beans and herbs. Again, it has been a great success. Showing the kids how things grow and making wonderful foods from our plants. We have a yummy spaghetti sauce in our freezer that is full of our garden veggies and almost every night at dinner we go out with scissors and add some fragrant herbs to our meals. We fill salads with our tomatoes and basil, use the rosemary when we make chicken and I will miss our garden this winter. Here are a few of our lovely tomatoes, some beans and two green peppers. I love having green tomatoes on my windowsill everyday. They change and turn the most amazing colours. How does your garden grow?
