Week eleven in the garden

We love snoopervising Mommy and Daddy while they're working in the garden.

Our squash/zucchini/pumpkin patch is in full bloom. Look at those huge leaves!

We've harvested strawberries almost every day this week. And we hope to be harvesting more and more.

Daddy had to thin out the carrots today. Mommy thought the baby carrots were so cute.

It's always exciting to see flowers on plants. Flowers mean that baby bells are just around the corner.

We wonder how big the pears will get this year.

It's very exciting to see so many baby tomatoes.

We hope everyone had a pawesome weekend!!!

Wordless Wednesday: Today's harvest

Week thirty three in the garden

The fall weather left us yesterday. We had temperatures in the high eighties all weekend. The temps are going up to the nineties all week. I guess I'll be ok with the hot weather since our garden is still blooming. We haven't seen any strawberries for a long time but were glad to see the first one today.

We have lemon balm in abundance.
Mommy and Daddy have been enjoying lettuce in their salads with dinner every night.
Sierra heard something near the mint plant. (I sent her to supervise today since I was napping with Mommy).
It's a good thing Mommy wasn't out in the garden today because look at what Daddy found. A worm! Mommy thinks they are gross.
There is a cabbage sprouting. We love fall/winter gardening too.
Mommy thinks the shape of this butternut squash is just pawfect.
And look what we discovered today. One of our neighbors has a pomegranate tree. We hope we get to share in their harvest.

Today we...

harvested our first butternut squash, two zucchini, and some tomatoes. Mommy is going to roast the butternut squash and freeze it for soup. She says it's not time for soup yet. It's time to eat soup when it gets really cold.

It finally feels like fall. It was 74 degrees today. I love sitting outside. We didn't even have to wait for it to cool down before our walk tonight. October is just the best!

Week thirty two in the garden

This onion looks ready to be harvested. What do you think?

We have lots of green tomatoes...
that we are hoping will turn into this golden/orange color.
Our sweet potatoes are growing fast!
Daddy doesn't think it's time to harvest the watermelon yet.
We are thankful to have lots of cucumbers still coming in. We harvested four of them last week.
Mommy just loves butternut squash.
We hope everyone had a great weekend!

Week thirty one in the garden

A lot of you guessed where I was in yesterday's picture...Lake Tahoe. We had a pawesome weekend at one of my most favorite places. I can't wait to share pictures from our weekend. We got home a little later than usual. It was dark so we will post pictures of our veggie garden tomorrow. We can't wait to catch up on what happened over the weekend in DWB land.

Mommy and Daddy eat salad with dinner every night. Can you believe how fast lettuce grows?

I wonder if our butternut squash is ready to harvest.
Daddy thinks the jalapenos are almost ready.
Our sweet potatoes are doing great!
Here is our winter broccoli.
I'm so ready to eat this watermelon.
We've harvested lots of onion this summer and Daddy is glad to have so much more growing.
And of course, we have lots and lots of tomatoes...gold, red, green.

Week twenty nine in the garden

Our lettuce box is in full bloom. If you biggify this picture, you can see our thyme plant. It hasn't been doing too well. Do any of my friends have any advice on growing thyme?

Our butternut squash is slowly changing color.
As you can see, Mommy hasn't made any pesto yet.
