FRONT GARDEN UPDATE 11/29/2023
Full side view
Row 1= a pumpkin, variety of sunflowers and Valor beans
The pumpkin has two fruits on it at the moment! I'm gonna post a few pics of what it looks like currently a little further down.
For the sunflowers we just mixed a bunch of different ones together so there's some Mammoth, Boss (black oil sunflower) and some stuff we had left over from the last sunflowers we grew!
Row 2 = nasturtiums further away and cabbage
A little view of row 2
Row 3= Armenian cucumbers and egg plants
The Armenians aren't spreading out too much but that's more our fault than the plants, it's not in a super sunny spot and it tends to do better when it's slightly sunnier spot in the winter.
Row#4= more valor beans closer with some remnants of cabbage, carrots and radish.
Close up of the pumpkins!
One of the eggplants is starting to show signs of getting flowers/fruit.
A valor bean on the plant
While they aren't really branching out one of them does have a lot of little cucumbers starting!
And some bees on some of the blossomed sunflowers!

GARDENING UPDATE 1-11-2023
Front section
First update of the year! There hasn't been too much work done in the garden due to everyone getting sick and life in general.
Row 1- Pumpkins! we 've finally gotten a pumpkin! I'll post a picture of it towards the end
Row2- carrots and radish. Carrots are sweeter in the winter due to turning starches into sugars
Row 3- the okra will be ready to harvest seeds soon, in front of it is the nasturtiums we planted. On the back side is peas.
Full rows
Rows 4,3,2,1 from left to right
Close up of the nasturtiums the little red parts on the left side of the plant will be red blossoms in a few days!
The arrow is pointing at the pumpkin that's growing, it's our first one!
And the paperwhites are in blossom too!

Front yard Update 9/12/2022
Hello, hello everyone! Many apologies for not posting sooner but it's been a bit of a ride these last few months. My chronic Illness has loosened up a bit and the weather is starting to get below the 100掳f temps so that means some work can get done in the garden again!!!
I've been doing pretty minimal work in the garden currently. Sis went through and cleaned and freshened the rows in the front! The only plant left in the main rows is an okra that I'll get better pics of soon.
Rows 1, 2 & 3
The okra is in row #3
Rows 2, 3, 4
As said the rows are barren save for the okra plant. We've got some trays set up for seeds right now and should be able to transfer the new ones soon!

Front yard update 2/21/21
Bell pepper pot, this is the bell pepper we've had for two year now (I think) the peppers got crossed with the little spicy peppers last year so they got kind of funky tasting. Haven't tried them yet this year so once they are ready for picking we'll find out if the taste improved after being moved or not. There is also Marigold flowers and Salvia flowers to attract pollinators
Row 1- used to be round zucchini but it is currently empty in prep for our planting season.
Row 2- peas, an unknown squash and more peas.
Row 3, a now dead Kombucha squash, we are letting the squash harden before fully picking and storing. Middle is empty waiting for next rotation and a mystery squash that has also reached the end of it's season
Row 4- sunflowers at the end, cabbage behind it that we are allowing to go to seed.
Row 5- also cabbage that we are allowing to go to seed. There is also some chard, kale and Brocolli towards the end of this row and row 4
Row-5 a clearer shot of the cabbage going to seed.
Row6- beans, this variety took a while to get to grow but it's doing really well now.
Row 7,8,9- still under tarp, it'll be removed soon.
Potted row- we plan on adding some more pots over the next few weeks but for now it's just the Moringa and struggling fig.
Row 10- the flower row has been planted now we wait for them to grow..
One of our flower plants growing
It's a bit hard to make out with the weeds but the dill we planted is growing finally!!
Over shot of the Rosemary plant, our little spicy peppers that I cannot think of the name of at the moment. Potted mint and egg plant.
Back shot or rows 1-5
Close up of the in the ground mint.
