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.
