Week thirty two in the garden

Look who's starting to look more like an orange.

Our experience with chives has told us that they thrive in the winter. We'll have our paws crossed that this herb will have doubled in size by Spring.

Parsley is the herb that keeps going and going and going....

What should Mommy make with the swiss chard? Do you have any suggestions?

Mommy told me she'll be using a ton of kale tomorrow to make zuppa toscana.

The cherry tomatoes are still growing. We hope to harvest a few more before First Frost.

Week twenty seven in the garden

We're so glad to see the lettuce starting to grow before the cooler weather is upon us.

Look at all of those bell peppers. I wonder what Mommy will make with all of them?

We can't wait for all of the oranges to turn color. I wonder if there is such a thing as orange butter. Hmmmmm....

Kale is to be one of the strongest veggies out there. It can survive anything. Mommy says it's really good for you too.

We hope everyone had a great weekend.

Week eighteen in the garden

Today might have been the best Sunday of the summer. The weather was not too hot, most of the yard work was finished yesterday, and Mommy and Daddy were both home all day so we had lots of together time, lots of snack time, and even more belly rub time than ever. As you can see our garden is doing very well.

The cucumber plant keeps spreading out and is now crawling across the little fence around the garden.

They sure are growing slowly.

I really love the colors of our lettuce. They might be the prettiest edible plants out there.

It looks like some little black bugs found the broccoli flowers before Daddy did.

We also harvested all of our beets and carrots yesterday so today we planted more beets, and carrots, and also some spinach.

These little pepper plants are finally starting to come back after Daddy almost killed them by not watering them enough during our last heat wave.

Our corn is starting to flower already so we will definitely be enjoying corn on the cob very soon.

Our cherry tomato trellis is starting to really fill out with little green balls.

Our oranges are almost full size so we hope they will start turning color soon.

There's a giant, orange ball...

...in the sky. This is what Daddy heard when Mommy called tonight. She was frantic because she had no idea what it was. Was a huge lit up hot air balloon that was floating through our city? Daddy told Mommy it was the Moon. We were really close to it tonight so no need to worry, Mommy.
