I am so excited! Matt and I decided to start a garden. I’ve been thinking about it for the past couple weeks and more seriously this past week, so on Thursday we went to Target to get some supplies for our garden and ended up buying plants that were already growing. We also bought some seeds, but since it’s so late in the year we wanted plants that were already established. Some of them even have fruit! It’s so cute.

Say hello to my little tomato! We have two Better Boy tomato plants, but this is the only one that has fruit.

Our other tomato plant is a patio hybrid and has two little maters growing!

Mmmm… basil! We also got some oregano, but I forgot to take a pic of it.

It must have been mint to be! We are going to get an ice cream machine so we can make homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream (my fave)! The smell of my little mint plant is amazing.

We also have two bell pepper plants, both which have one nicely developing pepper and are working on more.

Everything looks so much bigger now that I have transfered them to new pots! Or maybe they really did grow a lot overnight! We also have chives, two red bell pepper plants (no fruit yet), and two marigolds (supposedly they keep bugs away, but I found a couple flies on my plants today).

I already want to add on to our little garden! I planted some seeds for cuccumbers, sweet baby lettuces, and more peppers (from a pepper on my other pepper plant). I have a couple others I really want to try out also, but I want to read up on how well they do in containers first.

I enjoy sitting on the back porch and tending to the plants. We’ve bonded. I will miss them so much while I am gone this week, but it will give Matt a chance for some alone time with them. :)
