My mini Garden

So while I'm sure that there are many other blog readers with gardens that would blow mine away, I am so thankful for the one I have. In the past I have not been very successful in growing a vegetable garden.

My husband has actually asked me, "Wouldn't it have probably been cheaper to go buy the vegetables at the store?" Of course I replied with "No". I have in the past tried many different soils and organic fertilizers but never had that much success.

In March I attempted Again, but this time I prayed over my little 50 square foot garden and yes, over planted seeds like I usually do.

To my surprise everything has been growing. Wow, the power of prayer! I have yellow squash, cucumbers, chives, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, corn, eggplant, carrots, and basil all growing in this small corner of my yard.


I'm actually afraid that all my plants will soon grow together and choke each other. Maybe I should only pray every other time I water. =-) just kidding.


Here's a look at what I picked today.




And here are a few other pics of the garden.


Basil



Bell Pepper, hiding in the middle



Egg Plant



There are actually 25 growing on this one little plant right now!

I am in need of some recipes using Basil. I've made pesto and turkey basil burgers but could use some other good ideas.
