Raya's first Garden


Cloth diapers drying in the sun! It's amazing how well the sun bleaches stains out and disinfects. Far superior to bleach if you ask me :) You can see our wild blackberry patch in front of this picture--there are so many flowers on them right now...can't wait to eat them.
We have 2 small apple trees that are producing fruit...they haven't really done that before, but Anthony has been giving them love this year. (aka compost, water, fertilizer, and songs)
and blueberries--there are SO many little blueberries starting to grow on our bushes..also thanks to extra love.

Here's a glimpse of our raised bed garden that is doing so well--Raya and I talk to and pet the plants every morning, and make sure it's watered. We have cucumbers, peppers, cilantro, parsley, yellow squash, zuchinni, sweet potatoes, eggplant, cantelope, spinach, beets and tomatoes! We harvested our first zuchinni and it was beautiful!

  1. What a fun garden! I know my neighbors apple tree only produces apples every other year and that's once it's matured enough to produce them. Not sure if that applies for the warmer weather where you are though?!
