how does this garden grow?

i've been doing a little gardening. and by "a little" i mean that i planted these things and i water them. i did stake my tomatoes, trip back the leaves on some plants and pull a few weeds that had grown. that's it. here's what's been happening with all of the plants in my little backyard garden!!

geraniums- doing pretty good. their little yellow friends- not so much. in fact, it rained so much that they look like they drowned. but! you can see in the bottom of the picture that they are trying to grow back. i should probably trim off all the dead stuff, huh?




tomatoes- the plant actually broke and i staked it with a paint stirrer at first (hello, ghetto) until lp found these awesome stakes and ties to hold this guy up. i haven't seen one tomato growing until last night when i finally saw two little tiny green things starting to sprout. so, they're either tomatoes or tumors. 



 strawberries- oddly, these have been the easiest to grow. what's weird is that i've grown about 10 and only eaten one. some little creature keeps getting into the berries before they're ripe enough to pick and so i've only gotten to try one! but look at these little guys! they're super cute, even if i don't know what they taste like. 





herbs- going crazy. it looks like my hair when i don't dry it. wavy, straight, long, crazy. we've used the chives and rosemary with success. next year i am going to add some basil in there. 



weebay- this has nothing to do with the garden but i was cleaning the floors the other day and when i vacuum, weebay goes nuts chasing the vacuum all over. he always wants to stay in front of it and eventually ends up upstairs, giving it the stink eye. like this.
