I'm a SAHM of 2 growing boys. I enjoy fresh produce but have a brown thumb. It also doesnt help that I live in AZ! I'm trying to learn more about starting a garden. Thanks for your posts!

We've tried some container garden but diesase overtook must of it so going to test the soil, try some upside down tomoatos(as that is where the problem started) and start over again. Also wondering if the sun is just too intense out here and I should shade stuff more. Thanks for sharing your garden!

That totally suits my garden this summer! :) Despite my lack of effort and energy put into my garden, we are beginning to eat from it! Whohoo! We've been eating greens for almost a month now, as well as radishes. Some peas have just started to be ready this past week, as are the baby turnips and kale. My dill and cilantro are beautiful and we're enjoying those. Yesterday the kids ate a few very skinny carrots, but I think we'll leave those in the ground a bit longer. After all that, we've got broccoli (starting to flower!) and cauliflower (which should flower anytime now), beets, onions, garlic, spinach- all ready in the next month, I think. Then tomatoes, cucumbers, corn and zucchini recently planted, with a watermelon and sweet pepper seedling waiting, as well as a couple winter squash seedlings. Plus, our potatoes are doing so well! I was worried that I had done something wrong because mine were already over the top of the garbage can as well, but I guess that's ok because so are yours. I really need to add more soil, though. I ran out! :( Can you tell I'm still excited about my garden? LOL! I love to talk gardening! Thanks for sharing your video! I liked the title of this post… the garden that grows in spite of me.

(Still mostly looks like dirt, even though things are growing well. I'm hoping that my update tomorrow shows how well everything is doing.) I have to ask about your onions. They look fantastic!!! How did you start them? Do you have any growing tips you could share? I started mine from seed and they're alive, they're just not growing. I don't know what to do - in my defense though it's my first year with them. :D I keep a picture of my garden on my sidebar that I update weekly.

The boys claimed that putting pea pods (the sugar snap type) on their peanut butter and banana sandwiches added a very interesting crunch. We were relieved to have a couple days of rain so we didn't have to go out and weed... I have an update with photos at my blog… no video. ;)
