My First Garden...EVER

Since we are living in Steve's mission presidents house and actually have a space for a garden, I decided to plant one this year for the very first time. We have always had a garden in Colorado...well my dad has always had gardens. They are his babies and Derek and I never really went in them because they were huge. I mean HUGE!!

This is the garden in the right field.
This is the garden in the left field. 
So my garden in tiny  compared to his. 


My dad brought up 6 tomatoes in starter pots and 2 pepper plants.


I finally put the plants in the ground and started my seeds. I planted corn, lettuce, carrots, zucchini, watermelon, and pumpkins. After my dad dropped off the tomato and pepper plants, I put them in the back of the house and FORGOT TO WATER THEM FOR OVER A WEEK! That is why they look so sad :( in this picture. I thought that I had killed them before I even got to plant them. 


The seeds actually started to grow. 












They are getting bigger and bigger and bigger...





The peppers still look pretty sad :(


Oopsy daisy! Not watering them for that week in the very beginning might have done the  pepper plants in. 
My garden as of right now! I probably should have planted my corn and tomatoes further apart...they are kind of taking over each other. I hope that doesn't cause any problems as they continue to get bigger.
