See How Our Veggies Grow

I'm proud to report that all our veggies are doiing well. Here is what we started with...

Now look at us...

The lettuce has been the star so far. We keep eating it and it keeps growing back. These wee plants cost $3 each and have paid for themselves already.

The radish plants have grown really well but the raishes are tiny. We're thinking it could be because they are in such small pots so we bought a bigger pot and planted  baby carrots too.

Our tomatoes are growing well, they've actually grown higher than the sticks since I took this pic and they have flowers.  The pic was taken about a week ago.

Here's me enjoying our first strawberry. We;ve had three so far and the next one is almost ready. 

Hope you enjoyed the pics. I'll keep you updated on how we are progressing. I'm loving having our own veggies, I get such a sense of a achievement from looking after our babies and seeing them florish. Whoever said I didn't have a green thumb was wrong.
