Week twenty six in the garden

It is officially Fall and now that the cooler weather is almost upon us it is time to start wrapping up our summer crops. Herbs like thyme on the other hand can grow all year round.

The San Marzano's we waited all year for turned out a bit smaller than we expected but beggars aren't choosers.

We could live on this plant alone. Kale is the hardiest thing we have ever grown besides weeds.

As you can tell the bell peppers are done just in the nick of time because the bugs are attacking.

Come on little cantaloupes, get sweet as fast as you can.

Mommy went out to take some photos but also ended up picking some cherry tomatoes while she was out there.

Thank you all for following our humble blog about our little family and all of our adventures. We hope you all enjoy our stories because we do it for you and your friendships mean the world to us.

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.

Today's surprise...

...was great! Daddy decided to take a play-cation day today. That meant playing all day with Daddy. Yayyyy! But first we worked on cleaning the garden. We pulled weeds. We cut down the tomato plants. We stirred up the compost and spread the dirt around our yard. Now there is hardly anything left of our veggie garden. We cleaned up everything except for the parsley and the strawberry plants. Daddy said they will soon be going into pots to keep them safe until next year. I could still smell some of the goodness left behind by all our veggies from this year. I decided to double check the strawberry plant to make sure there wasn't any fruit. I felt a rain drop and it made me blink. Daddy said it was time to go inside. Our work for the day was done and it was time to wait for the rain to go away so we could go for our walk.
