How My Garden Grows

Love having a garden.  I wish I could grow more,  but my space is limited.  Love the idea of sustainability, organic, local home grown. My garden this year consists of 4 tomato plants (2 roma's for sauces and salsa, 1 beefsteak for burgers and sandwiches, and 1 grape tomato for salads), lots of pepper plants, (3 jalapeno, 2 habanero, 1 ghost, 1 cayenne, 1 red bell, 1 green bell and 1 poblano) 2 chives,  lots of herbs (3 basil plants, 1 thyme, 2 oregano (spicy and italian), 1 sage, 1 flat leaf parsley, 1 rosemary, 2 dill, 1 celery, 1 tarragon).  That's it.  I also have some marigolds growing in there, supposedly keeps out the furry critters.  Seems to be working or the furry critters just don't like what I grow.  Hope to harvest some grape tomatoes soon, the plant doesn't seem to be very happy, so we'll see.  I'll keep you posted with photos, and recipe as soon as the harvest comes in.
If you have any photos of your garden please share, would love to see what everyone is growing this year.
Keep growing good eats!!
