Planting our Garden... The beginning....

We planted cilantro, parsley, scallions, red and green peppers, radishes, and tomatoes. My son also planted some flower seeds: Zinnia and Dianthus.

What still needs to be planted are the following: Strawberry plant, chives, and basil.

We already have 2 lemon and 1 tangerine tree planted. But we still need to plant the Avocado, Apricot, and Peach trees.

Work in progress!!!!!

Can't wait to watch it all grow!!!!! Love the edible garden!!!!!
