Our Wee Garden, How it Grows!

Our little Martin family garden is growing! It's my first time growing my own vegetables and every day brings delight with some little new growth or tendril or teeny green tomato. Peter continues to love our daily ritual of watering the plants. The hose is probably his favorite toy (of things he's allowed to touch, that is). Here's a little photo update of some of our garden crops: 

An inviting radish


Beans and grape tomatoes climbing our trellis. 
(I don't know if I've mentioned, but part of our eagerness to have a trellis on the side fence was to obscure the shoddy fence itself. It's already an improvement, I think.)



The raised bed, home to some climbing sugar snap peas, 4 basils, cilantro, 
and some transient mint plants.




 The hyperactive tendrils of the climbing snap peas. You can practically see them wrapping.





 Spinach (our slowest-growing crop) and spring onions


Squash

Our big tomatoes


Green pepper


 Cherry tomato seedlings grown on the windowsill

More basil


Aaaaand...The first vegetable harvest!
