Our version of a garden!

We have tried on several occasions to grow a garden. We have a terrible yard for a garden. One side of our house gets minimal sun and water gathers and makes a big mud mess. Well that is when we get rain. We tried two years ago to grow lettuce on that side of the yard, and had little success...not a good sign when you tear into the lettuce and white liquid comes out! The other side of our house gets a little sun but has all of the crazy satellites for the TV, the air conditioner and a few other things, well you get the picture. Our back yard, if you can call it that, is really just a forest with a cemetery at the end of the path. So we are only able to plant things in containers or by the mailbox. This year we have attempted to grow green peppers, two mums and then a little flower garden. In the flower garden we put some wild flowers and then BLUE BONNETS in honor of all of our Texas family and friends! So here are a few pictures of our garden attempt. Nothing has bloomed yet, so we are still hoping we have a successful garden this year.
We jokingly call this big plant our marijuana plant because we have no idea what it is!!

We can't wait to see how this tuns out!
