Our Garden

Just wanted to share some pictures of our garden from this summer. 

 

Last summer we could not get much of anything to grow. 

We got maybe 10 tomatoes all summer. 

We found out we were missing the secret ingredient - cow poo!! 

Not very classy of me, I know. 

But we heard that we need the poo so we got some. 

Here are some pictures.

crazy thing is this plant started out as a see growing in a old coke bottle.

These are pictures that were taken today. 

We have had four days of rain, so I know that has helped.

I really do think it was the cow poo!! 

It's kind of amazing stuff.

This is the same guy from the coke bottle. 
He is little but man he has put out some tomatoes.

Praying mantis on our sunflowers.
I think he was just born.

His brother, who has a little attitude problem and did want his picture taken.

I love the deep purple against the green.
