The last time I blogged about our garden it hadn’t rained in Alabama for quiet a while. Folks around here prayed for rain, and now it’s rained almost every day for weeks. The plants are looking great; so are the weeds and grass. We were able to till between the rolls at my parents to help deal with some of the weeds, and we’ve had to weed in between the plants as well. Morning Glory, trees, and many other weeds have tried to overgrow our gardens.
I have finally figured out which two vining plants are growing in our garden; Alabama Black Butter Beans and Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans. There for a while we didn’t have a clue, but they definitely look different.
Our oregano didn’t ever grow from seeds. I think someone had commented that they were difficult to deal with sometimes. So, after trying to grow oregano from seeds a couple of times and not succeeding, we went ahead and bought some pretty healthy looking oregano plants from a local seed and hardware store.
We haven’t harvested anything yet, but our plants are looking pretty. Some have some blooms so we know that will happen in time. We planted peppermint on one side of our garden. That side doesn’t seem to have that many bugs or ants. We’ll want to plant a lot more of that in the future.
