Week twenty nine in the garden

Lemon balm has kept Mommy and Daddy's tea tasting really yummy this summer.

Now that Summer is over and Fall has begun the San Marzano's are doing really well.

Only two weeks ago, Daddy pulled off all the leaves from our swiss chard. It sure didn't take long for them to make a strong comeback.
Our chives are growing better now that the chard isn't crowding it out.

This parsley shrub pales in comparison with the parsley tree we grew last year.

Look how hearty the kale looks. I guess that's why they call it a super food.

Somebody better get out here and pick some broccoli soon! It looks ready to me.

Watermelon? We still have a watermelon out there? I hope it's ready soon. We're almost out of time.

We hope you all had a pawesome weekend!

Week seventeen in the garden

We're sad that we haven't seen any peppers on our pepper plant yet. We're not giving up hope though!

Look at how much the corn grew this week. There should be ears growing in no time.

There are tons of green cherry tomatoes. We are patiently waiting for them to turn "sun gold."

You know what all those pretty flowers mean. We've got tons of cucumbers coming!

We're very happy to see lots and lots more strawberries.

Once Mommy feels better, Daddy can't wait for her to make him some sun brewed tea so he can use some of our lemon balm.

So far we only have one sugar pumpkin...(insert sad face). We sure hope to see more before the season ends.

We hope everyone had a great weekend!

Week two in the garden

Happy Sunday, everyone! Come take a look at our garden.

Our chive plant was transported with success!

We're growing our mint in a container this year. Martha Stewart suggested this as a good way to keep the mint from overtaking the entire garden.

Wanna know what goes great with mint? Lemon balm. This is a plant that Mommy and Daddy purchased today.

Hello there, strawberry plant, you're growing beautifully!

Look at the little green bulbs. We're thinking that this might be a pear tree. We can't wait to find out.

Week thirty nine in the garden

Our broccoli florets have finally arrived!

Our lemon balm is looking and smelling great.

And so is our rosemary.

The sweet potato leaves look super lush and green. We hope that means there are lots of sweet potatoes growing.

Can you believe our bell pepper plant has started growing peppers again?

The leaves on our tomato plant look like we're in the middle of July. We hope to get another crop before first frost.

There are strawberries growing!!!

Don't you think the lettuce looks like a flower?

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 twenty two in the garden

Look at how big our cantaloupes have gotten!

I was so close to leaving some pee-mail. Daddy caught me just in the knick of time.
I couldn't get over the smell of the mint.
We have lots of tomatoes. Did I mention that our tomato plants are HUGE? They are bigger than Daddy.
These onions are poisonous. They don't smell that bad.
Our peppers are doing great. I think one is ready for harvest.
The best surprise tonight was Daddy finding this watermelon. The vines spread out so far that we missed it.
Our lemon balm is growing beautifully, don't you think? Mommy uses it for tea.
