This Kentucky Garden

So, blogging hasn't been a huge priority for the past couple years, but I'm thinking it might be time to get back into it.

We recently moved to a much warmer climate, so instead of plowing our way through snow in March, we started rototilling the dirt for a garden.

We planted some in March as well.  We planted a couple small blueberries in the far planter, and you can maybe make out some peas coming up in the near planter. 

 Its been fun watching it grow.  About a month later you can see beans and onions...and other things are coming.

I started a few other things in little planters on the deck, trying to keep them a little more protected.  The cherry tomatoes were the first up.

 About a week and a half after that, here they are, ready to transplant into the "big" garden Month old tomato plant

The beans are coming along as well.


 
Then there are the vines - the pumpkins, the zucchini, the cucumbers.  They have cute first leaves.

On the fruit end, everyone need their own vine (which has perked up a lot!)






...and fig tree (with a new leaf).



Plus, the blueberry has new leaves!
