James' Colorful Green Garden.....


Can you believe it? It all started with some tiny seeds and black dirt and with a little water and some hard work look what we have created. It's our own little green garden. First came the radishes and boy were they good. Now we have green beans and peas. The cabbage, cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes are sure to come next. We have a lot of green tomatoes, but I'm sure the color is soon to come. This garden is a joy for our whole family and hopefully will be filled with many memories.

How DOES James garden grow?......Quite well, you can see...

My mother in-law gave me some gourd seeds and wow don't they look great now. I can't wait to see the gourds.
We'll what do you know I might just be a farmer after all. The corn is up and is almost as tall as my son. The ears of corn are soon to follow I hope.
Wow, I have half a garden full of tomatoe's both cherry and regular. I 'm going to have to get those canning jars ready. We have a lot of green tomatoe's that will soon be turning red. I can't believe that I am actually have success at this.

James' Garden Grows Well.......


The whole garden and I can't believe it is still growing strong. Everything that is but the carrots, they did not turn out as well and we may have to plant some more. The peas and green beans are sprouting all over are we are sure to have some canning to do. My wife has done an excellent job of cleaning up the garden and getting all the weeds out of it. I am proud to say that my tomato plants are doing well and I have some strong plants. The milk cartons are doing a great job of helping out the less fortunate tomato plants. I have been lucky not having to water the garden as it has been raining a lot and mother nature has helped us in providing the necessary moisture that we need.

Look at the Hot Pepper Plant. WOW I can't believe it looks so good! Soon I hope to have my first red pepper.

No, that is not WEEDS you are looking at, it is my field of corn. The garden was weeded and as you can see my corn has started to grow. I hope to have a full harvest.
