Community Garden

Kolby and I bought a plot at a nearby community garden this year.  It's just a few blocks away from our house, about halfway to the library, so we were already walking right by it almost every night.  We figured why not take a stab at it.  Even though we've basically killed everything we've ever planted at our house.  You know us, just a couple of green thumbs.

We went in on this $38 investment with Kassidy and Derek, who happen to also live a few blocks from the garden.  We cheated and started off with with small plants rather than seeds.  But it paid off because everything is still alive (knock on wood).  Most of the plants have grown A LOT since we planted them the first week of April.

We went for a salsa garden theme... lots of tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapenos, a bunch of other peppers, and cilantro.  We also planted rosemary, okra, a couple of strawberry plants, and two cantaloupe plants that are absolutely going to take over the whole plot before all is said and done.  

We've even had our very first produce (a poblano and some tiny jalapenos):

Last week we decided the poblano was finally ready to be picked.  This picture makes me laugh because you can see Kolby's handheld radio laying on the ground.  No evening walk is complete without listening to the Rangers game in the background  :)

Here's to a summer full of garden-fresh produce like this little beauty!
