I don't know what's come over me -- I can't stop obsessing over my garden. Carlos asked me what I wanted to do for my b-day. Since we're going to Mexico in October, I decided that we should put all our efforts into expanding my garden!
It's 6ft x 17ft, as we speak and after taking some key measurements I think we're widening to 16ft x 17ft. In preparation, we cut down the mature grapefruit tree. Don't worry it's not the pink kind and it was plagued. It was time to go! The tree was also shading my garden a bit too much - my veggies need SUN!
I obviously need more plants to expand my garden, a good way is to take cuttings from your existing plants and use them to propagate new plants. Check out the link for detailed info.

I'm also looking forward to growing different veggies: sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, garlic, fingerling potatoes, etc. We'll see how we do :D
