The Moment You've All Been Waiting For!

Yes, I'm finally posting a picture of my lovely garden! I think I've held you all in suspense long enough. =) Not to mention I really only got it in not too long ago. But it's beautiful and I love it!

Just for comparison, I decided to show a picture of the area that was my garden last year. If you notice the really dark section on the right, that's where I had that landscaping fabric down and it saved my strawberries from complete and utter destruction! You can see how I had a bit of a weed problem last year. But now I have tomatoes, onions, peppers, pumpkins, watermelons, strawberries, herbs and flowers growing in my garden and spinach and carrots growing in containers. We'll see how they do. It's been unusually cold lately. What's up with that? Oh, yes, it's Idaho. I forget occasionally how that works. The other day I was moving my strawberries from their weed infested bed to my sparkling new, weed-free garden (yes, I'm very proud of it. Is it obvious?) and when I came inside this was the face that greeted me. I think she likes butter. Of course, I've heard I did something similar at that age. Mmmmm....butter is good. That's probably why I didn't destroy her on the spot, I know where she's coming from. That butter's hard to resist! =)

LOVE the garden!!! I want one so bad! We tried last year and well we kinda had the same weed problem. Our weeds are greener but they were just as bad! Plus I had wonderful deer to munch on anything that survived the weed infestation.
