Garden Update

My garden has been such a successful project. This summer I harvested way more vegetables than I anticipated.  
 
However, not everything grew at the same time. My peppers are just now getting ripe. 
So far there, there is only one bell pepper on each plant, but I see buds so hopefully I get some more. 

I pulled the lettuce and green beans so I have an empty box to fill. My mom surprised me with these 
and I already see sprouts.  I'll probably plant them sometime next week. Well, except for the cilantro. I really don't like cilantro so I'll probably give it to a friend. But everything else should fit nicely in my planter box. I'll probably add a little lettuce too. 

I'm really proud of myself for maintaining a garden an entire season. Maybe I have a green thumb after all!

Oh, and did you notice my red mulch? I decided to spruce up my garden with a little color. I know there is a huge debate over artificial color in a natural garden but honestly I think it's cute. Plus at 5 bags for $10 at Home Depot I couldn't beat the price.

I also spray painted a table I bought on clearance from Target to match two chairs my grandmother gave me.
Overall I'm really pleased with my little garden space. It's a work in progress but I'm thrilled with the progress so far.
