Garden Extraordinaire

Holy Cannoli, it’s a radish! That’s right, the girl with the black thumb and absolutely no luck with gardening skills of any kind has picked her first handful of radishes! 
    

Jenny Levison proudly displays her first harvest (radishes!) from her organic garden.

I am so impressed with myself that I can’t stand it! It has been one month since we planted Farmer D’s garden extraordinaire, and all that is happening is far-out fantastic. 

Less than a month ago, this garden space included only seeds and tiny plants.

I have eight—count ‘em eight—varieties of tomatoes growing at a super speed, incredible beans, eggplant, Sunflowers, squash, zucchini and a slew of peppers from poblano to jalapeno. The herb garden is abundant enough to start an herbal tea store.

I am simply beside myself at the growth, and I have done nothing but water! Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it, but I could be the poster child for gardening for dummies!

Jenny shows us around her garden, where watermelon vines (planted from seed) have grown so prolifically they’re in the yard! In the background, tomato plants have grown to a height of four feet—they were only about six inches when planted in mid-May!
