When I moved into our home last Fall we inherited a lot of gardens, way more than I have time to maintain, but they are beautiful. They are a bit overgrown, but I haven’t worried too much since most will be removed and sold. We need boy running room, and right now, a few are getting trampled.
I also inherited a massive veggie garden. I think it is a bit big for us, but we haven’t had time to down size it yet.
This spring when we had a warm spell in March, which is usually cold here, weeds start popping up in my veggie garden. We got a cold snap, and it hindered some of our plants, but not the weeds. By the time I was ready to work on it, I had this:
 |
| Mama’s Mighty Weed Garden! |
 |
| After a lot of work of pulling the weeds |
 |
| Veggies Planted |
 |
| B2s Pumpkin |
 |
| B1s Sunflowers |
This and weeds are all I have so far. But if I can get some pumpkins, and sunflowers, I will count that a victory for year 1 of the veggie garden!
Do you grow veggies of your own?

You did a great job cleaning that out
@Gingermommy – thanks it was a lot of work, but we have a few things starting to sprout so we are happy!
If I didn’t have to get my hands dirty I might garden…but since even those pretty gloves leak, no I don’t grow veggies. I just hit my Mom’s house and raid her greenhouse – then I make something fabulous and share it back
@ashleystone7 – That works! I have a 5 yr old boy who hates getting his hands dirty too, so he mostly stands over me with garden gloves on pointing to which weed I should pull!
Oh that looks nice! I would love to have a garden – but I live in a building. Maybe one of these days!
That looks awesome! I’m doing my backyard this weekend, I’ve done the front and all the weeds are gone, lol. I would love a garden if I had a green thumb. I tend to kill plants and not on purpose at all, I’d love to go in my backyard and get a tomato or a head of lettuce, I’m jealous of all you that get to!
We grow some veggies – this year so far it’s mint and basil in pots
I TRY to keep my plants alive, but I am not good a remembering to water them, and I am even worse at the “weed vs plant” game and usually end up pulling out things that should have stayed in the garden!
@_littlemisskate – Yeah, I tend to err on the side of leaving things, so I end up with beautiful full weeds growing and then I have to pull it once I know it’s a weed! haha. I had one growing in my planter pot, and hubby and his cousin were laughing at me. Once I realized for sure they were right, I pulled it. I then went and got some seeds and planted something. My hubby thought it was a weed and pulled it. I still pick on him about that. I left the pot empty for the rest of the year too, and when people would ask I would make him tell the story.
That’s very good work done. All we know that by posting this much helpful things really encourage us.
