2018 was my second year gardening. A look at my Spring 2017 garden is here. This post is a chronological look at my garden from January to June 2018. In addition to the great food I planted in my vegetable garden I also planted a wildflower garden and started composting this year.
January 2018
Sage
I wanted to plant some herbs in the garden. You will see later, that this type of sage has beautiful blue/ purple flowers.

Bok Choy
One of my favorites! I let some of it flower and go to seed. I sent seeds to @scottshots in Tahoe. Steem friends connecting in real life!
Carrots
My cute neighbor wanted to see my garden and he got a yummy treat to eat too.
Spinach, lettuce and green onions

The wildflowers continued to grow and made it a delight to be in my garden. It was often surprised by the beautiful flowers that would come up.

June
The heat is intense by June so the flowers are dying and the watermelon is the only thing left growing.
