​
In 2024, we grew okra, watermelon, cherry tomatoes, Carmen peppers, jalapenos, blackberries, arugula, strawberries, eggplant, cantaloupe, oregano, thyme, mint, French tarragon, lemon balm, sage, basil, green onions, and onion chives.
​
I hope I did not forget anything!
​
Additionally, BrieMG, a photography and videography company, filmed the majority of our gardening content, which can be viewed on our 2024 Gardener Shicole YouTube playlist.

Garden 2024
​
The gardening journey continues!
​
Successes
​​
-
We successfully grew eggplants for the first time.
​
-
We were able to make a drink out of the melons that had accidentally fallen off before they were ripe.
​
-
Gardeners Jerry and James planted plants, watered plants, and harvested independently of Gardener Shicole!
​

​
Struggles
​​
-
We were unable to find an eggplant recipe that everyone enjoyed, so I don't think we will grow it next year.
​
-
A couple of melons got prematurely detached from the vine before they were ripe.
​
-
We didn't have time to expand our raised garden beds. Hopefully, we will in 2025.

New Updates
​
-
We had blackberries finally!
​
-
We planted strawberries again that were still healthy when the season ended which means we should have lots of strawberries in 2025.
From Our Boys
-
Jerry - Everything grew really well. The Carmen peppers tasted delicious. They were some of the best peppers we have ever grown.
-
James - My cantaloupe grew well again, and I got to eat a lot of them.
