My Organic Gather garden

The first giftcard I cashed out for (and only one, because I went to the cash option after that), was a $50 Home Depot gift card.  I've been saving it for a while now in anticipation of spending it on my garden this year.  I have most of my garden on a riased bed, with a few plants spread out in my flower garden!

  This year I'm growing cherry tomatoes,

  some sugar snap peas (which will be replaced with green beans soon, but in the meantime I'm enjoying eating them straight off of the vine!),

  bell peppers (not pictured), and various squashes and melons.  This year I'm putting these rings of plastic (from 2 L and 20 oz coke bottles) around my squashes and melons in hopes of preventing getting cutworms.  I don't use any pesticides, and I've heard this works!  I'll also be spreading some wood ash around in my garden . 

I had some money left over, so I let my husband get some items for his pond and i got this:

  If you aren't familiar with it, it's confederate jasmine and smells wonderful!  This is a small bush, but it should grow a lot each year.  A friend of mine has a fence covered with it - the smell is amazing!  I also got some Columbine and another plant, maybe I'll show pictures of them later. 

I also grow a lot of herbs, although I already had them and didn't use my giftcard to get them.  I grow mint, oregano, basil, and rosemary. 

Thanks for checking out my garden!
