this is the first time in my adult life that i've lived in a house with a yard. in brooklyn my apt building had a fenced in concrete "patio" which was great for cookouts and parties (but technically it was shared by the entire building and we either had to climb out the back window or go through the basement to get there) and in my second pittsburgh apartment i had some luck growing herbs on windowsills...day 1 - after (and more progress pics from that day)
so when i decided to plant seeds in the ground for things that can actually be eaten as part of a meal rather than just used to season it, i didn't want to get my hopes up, but things are actually growing (!!) and i'm pretty excited about it. anyway, this is what i have in the herb department: cilantro, basil, thyme, sage, and oregano, but the rosemary decided not to sprout. otherwise, there are tomatoes of several varieties (none full grown yet), okra, and lettuce. now that i've listed it out, it seems pretty measly and i have friends whose gardens are WAY more impressive, but i still feel pretty good about this first effort!watering with my nephew (july 11)
I'm impressed and I think you should be quite proud of your garden! I'm lucky enough to have perennials blooming in my yard but I can't take credit for any of them cuz the previous owners planted them all. and they're not edible, so totally not as cool as your herbs and veggies! :-)
