Garden

Our friends, Mike and Stephanie, had the most fantastic garden last year. We were envious all summer long. So, this year we decided to try our hand at gardening. We've been experimenting with different techniques so that next year it will be even better.

Here are some of our tiny seedlings: beets, cubanelles, poblanos, anaheims, sunflowers.


Edie's nursery leader had them plant these peas at church. It got so big that we've had to transplant it twice. We finally took it outside and now it's not doing so hot (see video below).


We're sharing this plot with our neighbors. It's small, but we hope it will do the job.




Here's our botanist.



Recent footage.


You can see how much our pepper plant has grown in comparison to the one we left in the plastic. Don't worry, the runt has made it's way to the garden.

We are loving it so far. We can't wait to get those tomatoes off the vine and into our mouths. Edie is fascinated too by the growth...and worms. She's great with a watering can as well.

Mike and Stephanie sure are cool!

In other news, your garden looks great!! Much better than ours. We got (are getting) a late start this year. Not worthy of a blog post quite yet.

We love that little botanist! She sure has a way with words! And that is one good looking strawberry! Keep us posted on the garden's growth!

Is that the little plant Edie got in Nursery in March? Wow you guys have green thumbs. You must not take after your mother who just killed everything in her yard. I can't wait for Edie and Allison to come take care of my garden.
