project garden : update

my garden is doing okay considering the scorching temperatures outside. it has been fun watching everything grow. i'm even thinking about planting another round of veggies for a fall harvest.


i have been able to use all my herbs with the exception of the cilantro which bolted and is now toast. i have loved making homemade pesto and using fresh herbs in all my dishes.


my chives and thyme are going strong. i've been looking for recipes that include chives so i can put them on something other than a baked potato.


my jalapeno and red pepper plants are looking great.

i've been able to harvest a couple of onions, the rest are about ready to go as well.


here are a couple of baby romas. it is hard to beat a fresh tomato, i'm probably most excited for these guys to be harvested.

here are the carrots that are left, i'm sure it is just a matter of time before the rabbits get to them.


here is a picture of the whole garden, when this picture was taken i had just plucked out every single weed. we'll see how long that lasts.

here is a pic of the flowers on the side of the house.
