A Small Vegetable Garden-At Last!

Now that I have a small patch of sun, since having cut my avocado tree cut down.  The tree was always growing towards my neighbors roof.  I decided to see if I could grow a few vegetables in this sunny, newly reclaimed area.

The soil was dug, compost added in hopes that this might encourage the vegetables to grow.  I had a cherry tomato planted in a container that I now have sitting in the garden. Two 'San Marzano' tomato plants were planted, and maybe I will get enough to make spaghetti sauce from them.  Also a small eggplant with the name of 'Bambino',  a  sweet Italian pepper,  an orange bell pepper, basil ,oregano, and parsley are also growing in this small garden.

Because I have mainly shade in my yard, this patch of sun for gardening is exciting and hopeful for me.  Maybe one day when asked if I grow any vegetables I will be able to say "yes".

The sculptor face was made by my daughter she is to watch over the garden and encourage them to grow.
