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.

Week sixteen in the garden

Thank you so much to everyone for your well wishes, words of encouragement and the power of the paw! I am feeling a lot better today.

Look at all of those strawberries!

Do you see that flower on the zucchini plant? It's the first flower from our zucchinis. We are so excited!
The cucumbers grew a lot this week.
And so did the tomatoes, mint, and turnips. I had to check on them to make sure they all had enough water.
I wonder how big the beets are under there?
Our turnips are almost ready to harvest.
The corn, bok choy, and onions grew a lot this week. The bok choy grew a lot more flowers this week.
The cabbage and kale are doing great.
As are the potatoes. I hope there are lots and lots of potatoes growing under there.
Our butternut squash were having a hard time but oh they've turned around!
Teddy's Mommy here. Thank you all for your kind and sweet words. Teddy is a lot better today. He is almost solid and I could tell he missed his chicken in his dinner tonight. We are still waiting before we give him any treats.

Week seven in the garden

Daddy went to work on the garden as soon as he and Mommy got home from church today. The mint plants needed to go into the ground. Look at my hard working Daddy. I tried to convince him to use a shovel but he said there's nothing better than working the ground with your hands.

After they'd all been planted, Daddy said they needed lots of water. Too bad we didn't know the rain was coming...and staying, all day.
Our heirloom tomatoes, kale, herbs, and onion are doing great!
Our other seeds have started sprouting too! We couldn't believe it. We were very excited to see the heirloom tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, and stevia.
The potatoes have yet to make an appearance. It rained almost all day today. But guess what? It stopped raining just in time for our walk. Whew! Did everyone enjoy their weekend?

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?
