Gardens done wild!

My plants have gone wild! Woo Woo! This spring little baby seedlings have been sprouting in my garden among all the usual weeds and grass trying to invade. I've found several dill plants, a few tomatoes, one cucumber and lots of basil. It's been a very pleasant surprise, although a surprise that came after I bought a few basil plants from the store. Oh well!



Hello little dill plant! How'd you get there?



They've even found their way into the cracks of my flagstone back porch.



Not edible but still pretty, lots of little allysum plants have popped up. This is exactly what I wanted when I put in my porch and I couldn't have done it better if I had planted them myself!



I've dug up several of the little seedlings, or as I call them rogue plants, and plan to replant them and give some away. Anybody want to adopt a basil plant?

Welcome to my Garden!



Well, this is it. Pretty tiny but my yard is tiny so it's a good fit. And that's about all I can be trusted to take care of at a time. Maybe when my thumb gets greener I can expand. For now I'm happy with a few squash, pepper and tomato plants, along with an assortment a fresh herbs that are threatening to take over. I have parsley, basil, oregano, marjoran, sage and cilantro. (My rosemary is in a different part of my yard along with some dill and taragon that I hope won't die.)



Some of my plants have already started producing! I'm such a proud plant mama. Hopefully soon I'll be swimming in squash and tomatoes.



The rest of my plants are trying hard to catch up. My bees better get to work!

So that's my garden! This is probably the best it will look because the unbearable Texas summer is just around the corner. But I promise I will water and feed to the best of my abilities. Either way I'm sure more photos will come soon!
