Funky-Lookin' Carrot

So.... I really don't have a deep enough garden bed to grow root vegetables.... which means I ended up with some mutant carrots. We tried to eat this one, but it kinda tasted funny. Aw. Enjoy the picture.

Springing Forward

Okay, making up for lost time here. The garden has really been taking off. I'm hopeful for some good harvests come summer! Note to self--planting in January is really the key to having a good growing season.

I'm most excited about the progress of my pea plant. Last year I only harvested ONE pea pod. I mean, that's just silly. The pea plants grew hardly bigger than a couple of inches and withered very quickly. This year's planting really shows how peas are meant to look when they're growing well. There are already a couple of pea pods emerging from flowers. Fingers crossed that there will be more and more!

Also, my first tomato has appeared. Hooray!

Here are some recent pictures of my garden, plus a really unique veggie and herb patch that is growing on a wall (yes, vertically) outside a local restaurant.
