How My Garden Grows

Our garden is really starting to grow.  I love looking out our window and seeing this view.  
I put some straw down around most of the plants and then we got some rain.  The plants just exploded after that.  We should be getting some good produce soon.  I can't wait to just go to my backyard and pick fresh veggies.  There's nothing better!

I got excited this year and planted 16 lavender plants.  They all smell amazing.  I want to use them in recipes so if you have any you want to share I would love it.  I also planted a row of flowers in the garden.  I was hoping they would attract some bees and other good insects.  So far the zinnias are the only ones blooming.   Next year I will try to plant more in other areas too.

Some busy little bees at work.  Love to see it!
