Our Garden

Last weekend I finally got around to uploading some pictures, so you can see our cute little "raised bed" that we (mostly Sean) built.




Here's the empty box, almost done but not stained yet. This probably took at least 3 months, as we made very slow progress. We bought the wood and then it sat in the van for several weeks... which was fun in a way because the van smelled like cedar all the time. However, when a piece of wood fell on my toe, it was time to finally get it out of the vehicle.




Here it is after we planted everything. It was supposed to be 3 bush beans and 3 climber beans. But after a week or so we noticed that one of the climbers looked different from the others. I was worried that it might be sick or something, but Sean thought maybe it was just a different species of bean. Turns out... it was a tomato! And you might be wondering how we figured out that piece of information. Well, it turns out, we just read the little label, which I had in fact planted along with the plants.

You will see: More and more things you will plant om your balcony. That is what my wife did. It almost looks like a (well maintained) jungle.
