Week twelve in the garden

Today was a busy day of transplanting. First we started with the brandywine tomatoes.
Then came the basil. It is so tiny now that it's hard to believe it will grow to be as big as us.
Last but not least were the mini bells. They look ready to flower already.
Mommy might harvest this radish for dinner tomorrow.
Daddy, are you going to let me in so I can snoopervise?

Week six in the garden

We've been hard at work in our garden. Planting French Breakfast Radishes, Purple Top White Globe Turnips, and some Bull's Blood Beets is just the tip of the iceberg.

We also transplanted a couple of San Marzano Tomato plants and they look great. Mommy hasn't decided where to put this Zucchini Black Beauty so Daddy transplanted it into a pot for now.

You wouldn't know by looking, but Mommy harvested a bunch of the Kale Blue Curled Scotch today. The De Cicco Broccoli is also growing just fine with out any help from us. Who can forget about the onions, I can smell them as soon as I step outside.

The Italian Parsley is finally getting greener so it should start becoming more fragrant too. After we covered the Chives with plastic to protect them from a storm they have been looking better than ever. I guess they liked the warmth in side the mini greenhouse tunnel cover.

Daddy was dipping the seed Yukon Gold Potatoes in wood ash to callous them before planting. Daddy is creating a tower of potatoes that is sure to to grow tons of the yummy earth apples. So stay tuned we will be sharing some pictures soon.

Week nine in the garden

Look at how tiny the oranges are right now.

The snap peas are working their way up to the trellis.

Mommy and Daddy loved eating radishes from our garden with tacos tonight.

The swiss chard looks ready to eat.

Week seven in the garden

Every time we go outside to check on the garden we are shocked by how much things grow from one day to the next. There are lots of little strawberries starting to grow.

The potatoes and

the snap pea plants look have doubled in size since last week.

Our two zucchini plants look really healthy and our doing quite well in there five gallon pots.

Mommy and Daddy have been picking fresh radish to eat with there dinner salad made with baby greens from the our kale, bok choy, and beet plants.

The dill is starting to take shape but it looks lonely all by itself so we will have to work on that.

We were hanging out today when all of a sudden...

...there was a thunder storm and it started hailing like crazy. Lucky for us we had already done our photo shoot and gone for our daily walk.

Week six in the garden

Oooohhh la la , can you tell these little radishes are almost ready to eat? Our garden is doing very well in this cool sunny weather we've been having.

The garlic really surprised us by how fast it grew.

After much anticipation we are finally seeing a row of baby carrot tops in between our rows of green onions and beets.

Mommy is very excited about our little yukon gold potato plants too. They look very healthy and all trying to reach for the sky.

Do I look excited to start eating strawberries again. I've been waiting for months for one of those little morsels of goodness. I think I just love berries of any kind.

The dill made its first appearance this week right near our little basil plant.

Along with our potted squash plant and zucchini, our pumpkins plants are finally here.

Our lettuce bed looks empty but there are little plants growing all over. We are still playing catch up around here so maybe in a couple more weeks we'll start reaping what we sow.


Happy Mother's Day to our amazing Mommy and to all the amazing Mother's out there!

Week five in the garden

Wahoo! Our Yukon Gold potato plants are really popping out of the dirt finally.

So is our newly planted garlic patch.

I can see little radish's already sprouting up too.

They are growing really fast just like our beets.

and turnips. It is already time to thin out our little vegetable rows to make room for some big time growth spurts.

Have you ever heard of Spaghetti Squash? I haven't either but it is growing big leaves already just like the zucchini we planted from seed.

I wasn't even looking for baby oranges today but a dove flew in and landed on one of our citrus trees. As Sierra and I were bird watching, I noticed that there were a few little flowers up there and that's when I saw these little beauties. We can count the days it takes them to grow into full size oranges.

Week three in the garden

I was enjoying the cool breeze and snupervising Daddy while he was hard at work in our veggie garden. Sierra isn't really an outdoorsy kind of girl so she was snupervising the house.

We planted lots of garlic today.

Mommy thinks the herbs look beautiful. What do you think?

Hi there radishes and turnips.

Look at all that bok choy.

We are very excited that there are little strawberries growing already.

We hope you all had a great weekend!
