We have taken to growing a ton of stuff here at the DiPinto house. I love the idea of growing our own fruits and vegetables since it means we save money at the grocery store, we know our stuff doesn't have a bunch of pesticides or anything on it, and it's fun too!
It all started with a small crop of basil I grew last year (that gave me so much basil I couldn't even use it all). This year, we went full bore and decided to grow a bunch of different things. Here's a rundown of what's growing out there right now:
 |
| Beefsteak Baby! |
- Basil
- Tomatoes
- Papaya
- Green Beans
- Cantaloupe
- Carrots
- Spinach (not doing so great)
- Dwarf Bananas
- Chiquita Bananas
- Muscadine Grapes (just bought!)
- Oranges (have never given us fruit, erg...)
- Mangoes
- Avocados (hasn't sprouted yet...heard it can take 3 months)
 |
| Mango!! It's growing like a champ! |
- Peony Nancy Nora
- Dahlias (regrowth from last year)
- Bamboo (still going strong!)
- Climbing Roses
- Hydrangea (finally has bloom buds!)
I can't wait for everything to grow and fruit, and I can make stuff with our bounty! Our yard has become a mecca of yumminess, and I REALLY can't wait for the papayas, mangoes, bananas, and grapes (all of which are new projects this year). Yum!!
