Good morning all!
How about a #WednesdayWalk post?
I know, I know, it's not Wednesday, but @TattoodJay said I could post them any day! ;)
Today's #WednesdayWalk is through the shadehouse!
I went through our gardening area and took photos of things that stood out to me. Like I mentioned before, this is the year we are really going to make a difference growing our own food. So far, things have been growing amazingly, and while we don't have any big veggies ready to harvest yet, we have been eating home grown salads EVERY DAY! ♥
Our tomatoes are growing VERY well this year, and we have a lot of buds already!
I am SUPER excited to have home-grown tomatoes this year! My grandpa had a tomato farm, and I KNOW what a good tomato tastes like, and let me tell you, grocery store tomatoes are not even close!
Our pepper plants are doing fantastically as well, putting on loads and loads of blossoms!
Yay for fresh peppers!!
Aren't they pretty?!
They are about done, because it is getting hot out, but we have been enjoying the crap out of our snow peas!
They are so crunchy and delicious!
Our mustard have started going to seed. The flowers are fantastic!
We are allowing them to do this so we can plant even more!
We are growing zinnias in the veggie beds as well. Did you know that zinnias are edible as well as beautiful?!
Last, but not least, here is the humble mint plant.
Seriously, one of the EASIEST plants to grow ever, and it has so many benefits and uses!
Thanks for joining me on my #WednesdayWalk! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
What is growing in your garden this year? ♥

I really enjoyed this walk! Yes those peppers are so pretty! I know what you mean about tomatoes...store bought verses homegrown...huge difference! I did not know that zinnias were edible! I need to grow some mint!
Everything looks so fresh and lively! Beautiful garden of wonderful goodies! You all are doing excellent work and it’s going to be so beneficial for your family!!!

I am so excited to garden this year! After so many failed attempts that did not succeed due to lack of time, I think, we are really focusing on it this year and so far it is WORKING! Some of the tomato buds opened yesterday! I cant wait to get fresh tomatoes!!! :D

WOW your plants are doing so well, there is nothing like home grown salads they always taste the best
Love all the fresh beautiful greens growing,
On the mint I remember MY dad who was a great gardener, had his in a confine area because as I understand t it grows almost to well and will take over any area it can get to
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)

Yes, mint will for sure take over wherever you plant it! Mine is all in pots or buckets for that reason, and is thriving there, so I think I will continue that route. ;)
Arent the salad greens so pretty? I cant describe how satisfying it is to EAT the salad every day that we grew with our hands. Its pretty wonderful. :D

OK so my memory is not going yet lOL, and yes home grown salads are not only the best but also so cost effective :)

How exciting!! I'm so jealous for those tomatoes..having a garden forever in the midwest and now in Florida, the tomatoes are horrible here. I truly miss them. You'll be having lots of mint!!! :) Love your garden @squshysquid!

Thanks!
Haha I always have more mint than I know what to do with! I actually put it in the salads as well, just to use some up. Its a little weird in there...
Sorry that your local tomatoes leave something to be desired. ;) Maybe sometime you could try growing your own...

Oh, they are looking so awesome, all of your veggies! Especially those pepper flowers! They are so very pretty, aren't they!??
I always plant flowers in my gardens. LOL And yes! Zinnias are edible as are dandelions! Put them to good use, right???
The mustard is beautiful as it falls back to the earth that gave it life. How poetically appropriate. Wonderful garden and thank you for sharing it!

Yes, I dearly love flowers in my garden too! My husband always asks when I say Ive planted some: 'but, can you EAT them?!' and in this case, we CAN, haha! But that's not the main reason Im planting them... ;)
Thanks for the tip! ♥

I am SO excited to eat our tomatoes! And everything else!
Mint is one of my favorites as well! It will grow when all else fails, and makes a lovely tea, or just eat fresh.

Sorry I'm too late to properly upvote, but wanted to say hello! I've been neglecting to check on your posts, which is quite silly of me, because I like to see how your garden is progressing.

That's okay!! Hello to you too! ♥
Ive been just drowning in 'stuff' around here, so many things to do! Not much time for Steemit... I am just in a super busy phase of life, I suppose! Glad you stopped by to check it out. Our garden is still doing fabulously! Im SO excited!

Is there such a thing as a phase of life that is NOT super busy? I am 62 and beginning to wonder!! I try to maintain balance in life and keep some time to just sit and do what I want (like Steemit) but some days just don't lend themselves to balance.

Nooooo don't tell me that it never slows down!
Haha I keep waiting for a more relaxed time of life but it just seems to get impossibly busier...

I am finding out what everybody older that I am already knows: as we age, it takes longer to do things. So even though I am doing less things than I used to, it all takes longer. So I am still busy. But I am finally learning to not let my to-do lists run my life, and I am realizing it is more important (to me, at least) to spend time with friends and family than to have a perfect house or yard. Not that mine ever was perfect, but I keep lowering my standards.

Was a delicious sight to behold. I am a little jealous, we do not have the weather for gardening yet and are no where near setting up a greenhouse. I had no idea zinnias were edible either! Thanks for the tip. -A

No prob! I grew zinnias for years before I discovered that tidbit! Did you know marigolds are as well? We have a few planted and I have started sprinkling the petals in our salads. :D
