My garden after the rain



I love checking out my garden after the rain.  It smells so nice and everything looks fresh and healthy.  I always liked having a vegetable garden. Even though I am a hobby level gardener it gives me great joy and comfort to know that I have my very own dirt to play with.   




I had a bunch of petunias left over after my daughter's wedding.  You can not see them all in the photo, but, trust me, I have an abundance of petunias all over my yard. 




I planted four different types of beans this year.  I have green beans, yellow wax beans, purple beans, and runner beans.  I canned three bean salad two years ago with beans from my garden and it was really good.






Here is my lavender I planted last year.  I have many different herbs growing in my garden.  I use some of them in my cooking but mostly I grow them because I love the smell of them.




I usually start my tomatoes from seeds in February, but this year I had other things to occupy my mind.  I bought three plants from the store and they are doing okay so far. 




My friend gave me horseradish two years ago.  I don't know what I am doing wrong but they are not doing so well.  Like I said, I am a hobby level gardener and it is a good thing that our family's life is not dependent on me and my garden.






I am growing kale for the first time.  They don't look very good either, but maybe this is what kale is supposed to look like this time of the year.  when I go for a walk around my neighborhood I see other people's kale and they look about the same as mine. 




I love growing onions.  I have been growing them for more than five years.  They are easy to grow.
