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 six in the garden

Happy Easter, everyone!!! I hope everyone had a great day family lots of family, food, and love.

Look at how well our seedlings are doing. Our heirloom Brandywine tomatoes are the biggest right now. We have yet to see our heirloom bell peppers sprout. Daddy thinks it might not be warm enough for them to start sprouting.

Our strawberries look just about the same as they did last week. I hope to see them grow this week.
Daddy planted more seeds today...stevia, heirloom cherry tomatoes, parsley, cabbage, broccoli, and more heirloom tomatoes. Sierra and I helped supervise.
After all our hard work, the real fun began. Here I am checking out my Easter basket. There was a green squeaky stuffie, organic beef jerky, and tons of plastic eggs. Mommy and Daddy there were surprises in a few on them. I sniffed my way through the eggs.
So did Sierra, well she did after this picture. She was a caught a little off guard because of the bunny ears.
I found the hidden treasure...organic carob chips. Yummy!!! Sierra ate hers too fast so Mommy wasn't able to get a picture.
Then it was time for the Easter feast...ham, au gratin potatoes, caesar salad, butter biscuits, and green beans.
What was your favorite thing about Easter?

Week three in the garden

Happy 2nd day of Spring, everyone! The unpacking is going very well. Mommy got most of the kitchen unpacked while Daddy worked on unpacking the bedroom stuff. Sierra and I napped a lot since we didn't nap at all yesterday. We went for a great walk around the neighborhood. Daddy tried to play a trick on me during our walk. I was looking around our new neighborhood while Daddy was impatiently waiting for me so we could cross the street. As soon as he got my attention, he said, "Let's go!" I was in full sprint mode and took 2 steps before I realized that the sidewalk was ending. I stopped and sat like a good boy. Sneaky, sneaky, Daddy. I always sit before crossing the street. Our garden is doing well. I am so excited that there are strawberries growing. I hope the birds don't get to them before we do. All of our seedlings are sprouting like weeds. They'll be ready to go into the ground before we know it.

Week two in the garden

I am very happy to report that most of our seeds are sprouting and doing great. Some of the herbs have not sprouted yet. We hope to see them sprout this week. Mommy is amazed at how one little seed can produce so much. We went to Grandpa's house to do a little painting in our new room. Mommy and Daddy finished really quickly and then we had a great walk around our soon to be new neighborhood. Sierra and I both didn't eat our dinners. Mommy and Daddy think it has to do with the time change. Why do humans need to spring forward and fall backward anyway?
