Above is a picture of our garden, which was planted several weeks ago and looks completely different now! I think I may have planted too much in this little space, but we live and learn. I moved the basil, thyme, and parsley inside for ease of access during cooking!

Pumpkins
Sweet Peppers
Strawberries
Okra
Squash
Beans
Carrots
Cucumbers
Red/Yellow Watermelons
Sunflowers & Zinnias
Tomatoes

You got to be kidding! You planted all that's listed in the amount of space shown? City girl, right:)? We learn by doing so we won't make the same mistake the next time. I applause you for the effort and dedication you have put in this garden. It is a beautiful garden. I am curious to know what's in the cubes of the blocks. Keep us updated with pictures as the garden grows. You have given me an ideal how to use my blocks that's taking up space. Thanks for sharing.

Hahahaha!!! I actually grew up planting huge gardens, but I have limited space now:) I planted the strawberries, zinnas, and sunflowers in the holes of the cinder blocks!!! I also have 2 containers with beans and carrots in them. I am thinking of transplanting a few items so everything will have room!

You shall reap the harvest of your hard work. What a sweet reward!
I truly like the way you utilized the available space.
