How it Started vs How it’s Going!

I started my very first garden this year and I have just run with it. There are 40 or so “pots” in my garden and a lot of the bigger ones are companion planted. I’m not sure if you can overdo it but right now I don’t feel overwhelmed and I just keep planting. Some things are starts and some things are from seed. Some of my most exciting moments were seeing my corn sprout, eating exactly one strawberry, watching my bell pepper grow, picking a caterpillar off of my sunflowers and buying my blueberries! I will list what I have planted and the dates below!
