Today we harvested...

...lots of peppers. The red ones are heirloom mini bells and the green ones are heirloom Italian peppers. The mini bells are sweet while the green ones have a slight kick to them. They are delicious raw or cooked. They smell pretty good to us but Mommy won't let us try any. Have any of you ever eaten a bell pepper?

Week twenty four in the garden

We have another red mini bell pepper!!! There are about ten peppers that have yet to change color.

This pomegranate tree needs to go into the ground. We're having a tough time finding the pawfect place.

We didn't have room to plant sweet potatoes this year. The slips are doing so well that we're wondering if there is a way to keep them alive until next May/June.

We harvested the onions and they are ready to go into tomato night's dinner.

Week twenty three in the garden

A butterfly visited our garden today.

This onion looks ready to harvest.

We've been harvesting loads and loads of tomatoes. Mommy needs to get busy roasting them.

Our cucumber plants look great but we've yet to see a cucumber.

Look who finally turned red this week. We're so excited about our first mini bell pepper.

Week twenty one in the garden

We were given this lucky bamboo starter plant by one of our friends. Daddy is still trying to figure out where to plant it. In the mean time, it's growing very nicely.

Daddy could hardly believe his eyes when he peeked through the strawberry plants today. Is it possible that we'll be having a strawberry harvest soon?

There are so many little bells on our pepper plant. We're still waiting for them to change colors. We're anxious to see if they'll be red or orange or perhaps another color.

These little cherry tomato clusters make Mommy very happy.

Week nineteen in the garden

We're going to have much cooler weather this week. We hope this means that the broccoli will flourish while Mr. Sun is away.

Look at who made a comeback? We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw how well the basil sprung back from the dead.

Our oranges are about the size of tangerines right now. We're surprised at how fast they grow. We're waiting for these mini bells peppers to turn color. It should be any day now.

Week twelve in the garden

Today was a busy day of transplanting. First we started with the brandywine tomatoes.

Then came the basil. It is so tiny now that it's hard to believe it will grow to be as big as us.

Last but not least were the mini bells. They look ready to flower already.

Mommy might harvest this radish for dinner tomorrow.

Daddy, are you going to let me in so I can snoopervise?
