area that I have made into a garden.. lets see.. I have 5 Zucchinis, 6
Tomatoes, 2 bell peppers, 5 bush beans,1 cucumber that looks like it's
bit the dust and 2 strawberry plants.. I also planted some spinach but I
don't know if I did it too late??( planted from seed just last week)
still trying to figure out what I can grow and when I can do it!!! What
does everyone have in there garden? It was such a beautiful day.. just
