How does your garden grow?

So, here are a few pictures of our garden. Last year we had a good one also. This year we changed up the layout to maximize the amount of water each vegetable can get with the sprinkler system and not having to manually hold the hose. As with last summer we will be going out of town for some music later in the summer and getting a friend to come feed the dogs and let them out is asking a lot, but to ask them to water our garden too is too much. Especially for one friend that tends to come and stay while we are gone.

So, everything is in the ground and sprouting, so here are the first pictures of the garden.
(Cant tell i figured out how to add photos:)~

S0.....This one is our spicy lettuce mix












This is the tomato plants and a ton of Zucchini, squash, cucumber and water melon. We planted a ton of seeds and will weed out the weaker plants as they get bigger. We learned out lesson last year with more zucchini then we could stand.








And the third is the whole garden, We have a ton of spinach right now. Some how the snow we had all winter protected our crop from last summer. We were so surprised when the snow melted and our spinach was still green and growing. As i speak my boyfriend is making a spinach lasagna for dinner. i think it is safe to say we will be eating everything spinach for a while. But we are also growing green peppers, hot chili peppers, eggplant, carrots, onion, three different tomatoes, green beans and in the picture my boyfriend is tending to the peas.

It is going to be a yummy summer.
