I love it when it gets big.

 Update on my garden.
look how BIG it has gotten. I am SO proud. It keeps growing and growing!

 Look at the collards they are huge!
And my tomatoes are standing all big and proud. :) Its been about 40 and they are doing so good. Roughly 50 more days to go till I get full beautiful fruit. I can't wait!

 Lettuce is big and such a pretty green

 My Oregano, parsley, and thyme are all healthy, we use them all the time! I swear they are like weeds, they grow so fast.

 Peppers bigger. The one in the yellow wasn't doing so well where it was, so we moved it to the other side of the porch next to its "brother" and it perked right up!

Look how close it is to fruiting. Eeeee *squeal of happiness*

Here I've added some basil because well, no herb garden is complete without basil right? Also as you can see the broccoli has tripled in size!

Lookit my strawberry, I can't wait for them to be ripe! Fresh strawberry short cake? Yes please!!!

I hope you enjoy my garden growing as much as I do!

Do you suggest anything for me to add?

Boy did my garden grow!

So, as we know I planted a garden in a bath tub
Well it has grown!
I get so excited when I see that my plants have gotten bigger!
I also mulched the top of it to help keep soil moist and keep down weeds and pests.

I couldn't stop there!
I found out you can buy edible plants and seed with EBT/SNAP card!
Sooooo we got more. :)

Broccoli and Strawberries

Orange peppers, Red peppers

Spicy oregano, German thyme
Yellow peppers

Romaine lettuces, and Cucumber

And down here, you can barley see Cantaloupe, Tomatoes, and Onion.
Next week I'm planting yellow and red potatoes!

The clear buckets were part of a storage drawer system, we just poked holes in the bottom.
And the colored buckets were a dollar each! They are waste baskets from the dollar tree.

Love watching my plants grow!

Bathtub turned Raised flower bed

 So my MIL has a random tub sitting on her porch

Its been there for quite some time laying on its side taking up room

I figured that it would make a great planter!

 We moved it to the edge of the porch that gets the most sun light.
Drilled holes into it.
(thats what he said)

We filled it with a layer of gravel rocks

Some sand

Then dirt.

LOTS OF DIRT.

Luckly for us there was enough top soil scattered about around her house that we didn't have to buy any.

 We then added some chicken wire to the back of the tub to provide a trellis for some plants to climb.

Ooo now its a tub of dirt.

So off to home depo to buy some seeds.

Honestly if I had it my way I'd get some seeds from a local organic farmer.

But this year we didn't have the time or money for it.

So home depo seeds have to do.

This is the layout of the garden.

Or a garden map if you will.

Theres cherry tomatoes and Big boy tomatoes. 

Which we are germinating inside and will transplant outside in a few weeks.

Parsley, then green beans.

Garlic below the parsley.

Carrots and collard greens in the bottom row.

Not a whole bunch of stuff, but enough fresh to add to a mostly canned food diet!

And its a small enough amount of veggies that my MIL can keep it neat.

Now the question, should I spray paint the tub and make it cute?

Let me know what you think in the comments!
