Minus a few plants that we will be adding in, I present to you the garden of 2011! This year we expanded about 2x the size of last year.

Everything will eventually have the shade/wind protection fabric on, we need to order more.

We planted the tomatoes and peppers in their SIP containers.

There’s 7 tomato plants (roma, beef, cherry) and 2 pepper plants.

All tomato and pepper plants were grown from seed and love.

There’s 6 broccoli, 3 cauliflower plants.

Also growing some herbs with the broccoli/cauliflower, like this oregano.

Corn!

This bed has some corn and…

Sugar snap peas! (which I’m currently obsessed with).

Here are some more containers full of delight.. We have…

7 strawberry plants in the orange buckets.  These are my plants from last year, look at how healthy they look this year with their new growth.

The 2 window planters have carrots in them, it’s hard to tell in this picture but they’re there.

Some flowers this year, mostly to attract some bees.

Lastly, we’ll have 2 pumpkins soon enough (seeds have been started inside) and also trying for a watermelon this year.

Hooray! Gardening season is here!

The broccoli and cauliflower are looking strong.  They no longer have to be under the green house.

Here are some comparison pictures:

PS. DID YOU NOTICE? WE HAVE WATER ON THE ROOF NOW. That deserved caps.   Last year we literally carried buckets of water everyday up to the roof, it sucked. This year we have a hose!! EXCITEMENT.

We also got some gardening cloth to help protect from the wind this year.  We can raise higher or lower depending on the weather.  Since we are on the roof with this, the wind can get pretty strong.  If you remember the wind killed my pumpkin last August and I cried.
