5/20 - May 2021 Garden Tour | No Talking | Backyard Garden | Recycled Garden | Compost at the End
Hi, I’m Mo.
Here is a no talking tour of our backyard garden. We use a lot of recycled materials in our garden. We end at the compost pile!
In May 2021, our garden is still very small!! We have a lot of things started but not everything is planted in the beds. Some of our beds are still empty. We have a lot of blueberry plants and raspberry plants, but we haven't gotten any fruit yet! We have gotten a few strawberries! We have some houseplants, herbs, and lots of tomatoes and peppers. Do you have a garden? What are you planting? You can hear the children screaming from the school near us.
