The tomatoes are starting to grow and I am seeing little green ones popping up everywhere. I can’t wait to eat them!
The herbs are growing bigger and everything is doing really well except for the basil which did not survive the Indiana frost. I haven’t replanted it yet, but am thankful for lots of flat leaf parsley and rosemary to add to my dishes this year!
The garden view from the patio. I did get some more mulch to freshen up the bed and keep the moisture in. I am loving having my garden so close to my house now so it makes it easier to water and maintain.

How are your gardens growing? Feel free to share a link in the comments- I love to see what everyone is up to in their backyards!
Looks great! I wish I could accomplish something like that with my black thumb but alas I’ll leave it to the real gardeners!

Looking’ good!
Sadly I have to replant all my herbs! Chickens got them) Everything else is doing well though. We even picked some beans this week!
Thanks for the link love!

My tomato plants have no tomatoes on them yet. I’m jealous.
I’m hoping the plants get bigger, still, before they get flowers. My basil didn’t make it past teh Indiana frost either- And I so love basil!
I’m harvesting peas at an astonishing rate. Flowers are appearing on my beans and my potatoes- and, alas, my lettuce and herbs. Some of my parsley and dill is waist-high! Thankfully, the corn is waist-high too.
All is well on the gardening front!

Your garden looks great!
Ours is doing pretty well too:

The tomatoes aren’t nearly as large as yours though…

Those plants look great. Can’t wait to see the big red tomatoes. Fresh salads this summer? Yum!

My garden was a complete flop this year – yours looks much better than mine! Great job!

Monica- I think you guys started ours from seed and I feel like I took the easy route and just did the starter plants. I also relocated my spot so I think things are doing a little better than last year in the shady poor ground I had last time. I am still learning though. I planted way too early and I am surprised anything has lived

Your garden looks beautiful! I’m really impressed by how far it’s come.

Everyone thought I was crazy when I planted 31 tomato plants. With the tomato scare I have every tomato sold as it ripens on the vine chemical free. Some are as big a tennis balls-who would have thought. My husband came home with 2 bushels of corn fresh from the farm-now I have to figure out what to do with 200 cobs of corn.
Love your blog tracy-lynne223@yahoo.com

I wish I could have my garden so close to the house. But my dog would trample/pee on it. Here are some pics:

Hi Amy,
Looks great! Silly question, but where did you get the cute white ‘fence’ for your garden?
We are moving this summer to a house with room for a garden and my kids cannot wait! (me either!)
Thanks for sharing!

Tomatoes are coming along nicely! Our first one is just about ripe for picking and should be ready for a great summer salad in time for the weekend! We’ve been harvesting cucumbers for a while now, but still no squash.

Amy,
Your garden fence is so cute! The garden we planted in our old yard isn’t doing so well this year, but we’re still holding out hope for even a small harvest!
[Reply]
I posted a pic at my place a few weeks ago of our cute little garden. This is our first year so we’re not sure if we’re doing it right, but I guess it takes patience! We do have one bean for now but that’s about it!

Laura- This fence was actually purchased from Lowes. They had it outside with all of the flowers and it comes in separate pieces that you link together to make the fence. It was very inexpensive, but looked a lot better than the chicken wire I had up last year!!

Hi: I’m growing squash for their flowers…ever tried fried squash flowers? Excellent:
