Working in the garden.

I've been having fun lately attempting to grow things. I dug up some blackberry shoots at Dad's house a while back, and grew them in an old bathtub (no joke) that's in the back yard; today I attempted to transplant one to the front yard. I'm really, really hoping it does well.

I've also been growing cantaloupe in the bathtub...I just threw in some seeds from one I'd eaten, and lo and behold, it's been growing! Along, of course, with the rest of the blackberry "bushes".

Also in the back yard is a rosebush. Which I thought I'd killed. I had cut it back as far as physically possible without actually digging it up. And then it grew! Who knew?  Well, probably people who actually know about gardening, but I'm not one of those people. 

Isn't that a pretty rose? Unfortuately, it's the ONLY pretty rose. The rest look like this.

Look a little closer...

And closer...

Oh, well. I can't have everything! I'm also working on some vegetables. Some have been growing for a few weeks now, and some I've planted just today.

This is cucumber, radish and carrot!

Next to those veggies is a seemingly empty (except for dirt, that is) plantar. However, I planted fenugreek, brocolli, cilantro and something else, but I can't remember what!

This is corn. Or, at least, it will be. I can't wait to see it grow taller and taller. Not to mention, eating it. Yum!More cucumber and radish.

And last but not least, I'm actually attempting to grow some flowers. I'd tell you what's growing, but I didn't label them. Because I'm a dork. So, I guess we'll see when they are bigger.

I've been diligently watering every evening. Hopefully I'll see some results! If they're good results, I'll share the wealth! Can't wait for the veggies to get here.

Next project... any ideas?
