Garden Picture Spam

Our garden is growing!

We had our first produce this Sunday.

still likes to dig in the garden if he gets a chance, but we have a fence around his favorite spot, so he hasn't messed with anything recently.

That stupid tom cat however...

I think I may have figured out how to beat him.

We planted flowers in the square foot sections the cat destroyed, and I sprinkled cayenne pepper powder all over both beds. I also sprayed them with cat repellent. And we have that fence around the one bed...

I hope it keeps him out. That stupid cat has cost us enough money and time in the plants he has destroyed...

OK. Garden pictures. Right.

Nasturtiums!

There's also a sweet potato vine in there with the red nasturtiums. Chris's old neighbor Jan gave it to us. It has so many flowers now!

We have quite a few green tomatoes, and we have about 5 cherry tomatoes that should be ripe by this weekend.

I can't wait to make bacon lettuce tomato sandwiches (lettuce wraps in my case) with our own, home-grown tomatoes!
