As you can see, it's thriving!!!!! Well, the cukes and tomatoes are. The strawberries weren't in season anymore. It grew really well but it just didn't give us any strawberries :(:( The spinach died completely. No thanks to our newest monster, Walker (chocolate labs are mischievous!!!!). It was just in the shade too much :(:( The gerbera daisies died quickly as well (Walker) and the azaleas have been reduced to one (Walker). Needless to say, we needed to come up with a better way to keep our new big guy (pictured below) out of the garden!
So, we decided to change the fencing around the garden a little bit. TO THIS (pictured below): we're excited about it :-D Gardening tip #9: Before getting a new, taller, dog- check the sturdiness of the current fence you have around your garden. There are tasty veggies and cool dirt in there making it oh so tempting for your new best friend. So, if the fence isn't tall or sturdy enough, consider getting something better!
Hopefully this will prove to be more dog proof than the previous. Anyways, that's about all of the news I have. Not much has gone on in the past few months but we are extremely happy with the results. The cucumber plant- the smallest, cheapest one we bought several months ago is providing us with the most fruit and just look at it, it's HUGE!!!!
Well, that's it for now! Catch ya on the flip-side.
¡Adiós!
