\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last year<\/a> we planted six Tomato plants in one raised bed and this year we only planted four. \u00a0Though we love an abundance of Tomatoes, we could hardly get to them. \u00a0It became a Tomato jungle we had to forge through. \u00a0They look sparse now, but we hope to have the same luck this year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In our other raised garden, we planted Jalapenos, Poblano Peppers, Japanese Eggplant, Red, Brown & White Onions, Cilantro, Curly Parsley, Purple Basil, Lime Basil, Pineapple Sage and Thyme.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’re seeing at least ten small clusters of Grapes growing on the old Grape vine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We bought a two-inch Boysenberry vine from Knott’s Berry Farm last year and we’re happy that it continues to grow. \u00a0We hope to see Boysenberries on it some year down the road.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Matt has a green thumb, and especially a Pineapple green thumb — We have one starting above, one maturing below, and four others that we’re hoping will do something. \u00a0He’s grown several.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wild Blackberries grow on the other side of the house — They’re great to have, but VERY thorn-ey.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Serrano Peppers grow throughout the year in a couple other pots, whether we want them or not.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Zucchini is growing in another corner of the yard. \u00a0I have not grown it before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And Oyster Mushrooms are growing in the house — In a Mini Mushroom Farm we got from Home Depot. \u00a0We soaked its internal plastic bag in water for a day, cut an ‘X’ in the front of it and returned it to its box to grow. \u00a0Pictured below is five days growth. \u00a0It’s fun to watch them grow so fast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For non-edible enjoyment, flowers grow in the side planter below. \u00a0We planted hundreds of miscellaneous flower seeds to yield a flower-grab-bag to surprise us all summer long.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had the sign below made for our garden shed — FW stands for Freis West. \u00a0Most of the Freis live back East. \u00a0In Michigan and Wisconsin. \u00a0They’re Freis East and we’re Freis West (FW for short).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’re also growing Meyer Lemons, Limes, Tangelos and Rosemary (not pictured) and tend to our gardens daily. \u00a0We’re grateful to see all grow and will share the abundance in a few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
