An Experiment

About a month ago Chris and I decided to get serious about planting a garden, so we cleared some rock from the side of our house and made a make-shift planter box out of some of the cinder block that use to border our grass. We probably missed the peak planting time in Arizona by about a month, but we didn't want to wait another year, so we gave it a shot.

We were getting pretty discouraged because only 2 of the 7 kinds of plants actually sprouted. Then, this last week we went outside to find little sprouts everywhere!


Here is what I am looking forward to the most. I don't know if you can tell in the picture, but the cilantro shaped leaves are already forming!





I'm sure there is still a lot of work a head of us, and plenty of potentiality to kill our plants, but we're learning! Who knows, if all goes well, next year we'll probably try and clear all of the rocks and use the whole area as a garden.
