Michelle's first garden

[houseodessey]

Here are some pics of our garden. Mostly new blooms and growth and a couple of full shots that didn't come out too well. Please, no one make fun of our teepee trellis (it's sturdy, just awful looking). Thanks.

Great. Now I'm jealous. It seems like it will be a hundred years before I have flowering eggplants and big ole' 'maters.

Nice pics, Michelle. Good lookin' place.

I think we should change Michelle's Nick to GREEN House Odessey, don't you?? I'm impressed MIchelle!! And pleasantly surprised to see the size of yard that you have in the city.

Beautiful garden, beautiful soil! Ya wanna swap yards?

[houseodessey]

Our lot is the exception here, not the rule. We have almost 2 acres 10 mins. from Downtown FW. Most lots are 50X100 here or maybe a tad larger. That's the main reason we bought this place. Hubby is an introvert who hates hearing the neighbors' noise and I wanted room to garden so it was a win/win. I'm loving my garden and owe any and all successes to you people and sheer dumb luck.

Everyone needs to post some pictures. Surely something is growing everywhere by now!!
