This is my second year growing plants, and this time I went into the ground!
I'm growing corn, green beans, cataloupe, and bell peppers from seeds. Plus I grew my tomatoes from small plants, they've been with me since March and I finally put them into the ground a month ago. My beans and tomatoes are fruiting, my corn and peppers are flowering. The strawberries have all stayed pretty much the same except for a few that died and one strawberry plant has flourished but doesn't fruit very large berries (but is always' growing quite a few of them at any one time). I have basil, rosemary and lettuce in the front but have yet to get pictures of them.

Today I just bought aloe, peppermint, and watermelon (4). I plan to keep the aloe and peppermint potted.

I picked off my first beans today, too. I am so excited because even though she's a huge mess of leaves, there are still a bunch of beans growing off of the plant. I started with 6 bean plants, but I have some type of bug that eats the bean plant's leaves. One of the 6 survived and it is doing well (minus the leaves along the ground that have big holes in them)! This year is a tester season with the land and environment. I hope to get the jist of this and grow bigger and more productive plants next season! Maybe get a fruit tree! :o)
