We're trying something new this year: container gardening! We've never tried this before, so we're starting off slowly. We made this decision because the house that we live in has no place where we can plant a garden. The backyard is all concrete,in order to accommodate the pool and spa. The front is desert landscaping, using a great deal of gravel.
We decided to plant rosemary, bush zucchini and bush tomatoes. We selected the bush varieties because they appear to be the most suitable for growing in containers. We are going to attempt to grow the tomatoes and zucchini from seed. Skylar also has a sunflower which she has been growing for several weeks, but needed re-potting. We've been making our own compost out of vegetable and fruit peels, as well as egg shells. To be completely honest, we were pretty grossed out by this concoction!
In spite of the compost, the girls and I had a great time together. If we're successful, next year we'll try planting more variety.
