flowers and veggies

The veggie garden got off to a slow start with alot of rain and new mystery pests that chopped all new growth back. But as the season went on, the garden starting growing faster and the insects and mice couldn't catch up. (or the caterpillars all turned into moths.)

The veggies and some flowers started their lives as seeds inside at 49 ocean-












they finally made the big move outdoors before and around mother's day.

snap peas, peppers and various onions

tomatoes, basil, onions and hops growing up the back fence.

cucumbers, broccoli and a beer trap for slugs
