Grow

My backyard grows a lot of things. It contains four small gardens. On the side of our garage we grow tomatillo plants. Thank goodness for those plants because those are the only plants that grow an abodance.  I really enjoy looking at these plants because they are like little green bells. They also have bright yellow flowers and catch your eye since the whole plant is green.

Tomatillo Plant

The longest garden in the back grows a huge variety of plants. It grows pumpkin, a few corn stalks, zucchini, red peppers and sun flowers. We just stared to grow the sunflowers this year and I thought it was gonna be a wonderful idea because watching a sunflower grow is quite amazing. They shoot up out of nowhere, then their leaves start to come out and before you know it you have a flower bigger than any other. Sadly they didn't last very long because the vicious bugs that hide in my yard started to eat it and eventually they died. Except for one. There was a smaller one who for some strange reason never go eaten completely. That one was my favorite and the strongest. Until my sister decided to yank it out. 

We also have a garden directly behind our garage. There we grow more tomatillos, carrots and cilantro. I find myself visiting this garden the most since it it grows carrots and cilantro. During the summer I would grab a few carrot, wash them and them eat them raw. I thought they tasted better than the ones they sell at the store. Maybe its the fact that I was involved in helping them grow, or the way the soil made them taste. i also liked eating them because they always acquired a strange shape and that made me smile and laugh. My family would always fight over who had the strangest looking carrot. The cilantro I used for many recipes over the summer. I loved being able to go into my yard and grab what I need.  

Our last one is my favorite.  When my uncle past away we planted some flowers he had in his own yard. I have no idea what they're called but they are beautiful.  They are red, pink and orange all the combinations in between. They are amazing.
