Week thirty three in the garden

There's a new mouse in our yard and he lives in a corn. He's kinda cute so we will let him stay.

The baby bells are still sprouting giving us hope that we will continue to harvest the sweet little peppers. 

There are new Brandy Wine tomatoes growing so thankfully we didn't wait all summer for nothing like we thought.

New mint leaves were a surprise too. 

This baby snail was cruisin for a bruisin on our kale plants so daddy quickly whisked it away. 

 In case of the occasional burn Mommy or Daddy might get we have a little Aloe Vera plant to soothe our skin. It's grown very slowly in the shade but a little is better than no growth. 

 Swiss Chard is so pretty Mommy can't wait for the cooler weather so this plant can really take off. Even though summer is over we are still seeing a lot of new growth in our garden maybe we can keep it going all winter this year.

Week nine in the garden

Does anyone need thyme? Ok, good because we have TONS of it.


We transplanted one of our baby bell plants today. This is our first time growing bell peppers from seed and we are very excited!


We can't believe how much the mint grew in just one week. We are ready for some mint in our smoothies.


Just look at all of those flowers on the strawberries. We can already smell them. Hurry, strawberries!


The tomato plants are looking healthy and strong.

Week eight in the garden and a Happy Easter!!!

Can you say kale explosion? Mommy made kale twice this week and there is still an abundance.


All of the tomato plants are slowly growing. We had some cold weather last week but we hear that warmer weather is on its way. We know tomatoes love that heat.


Flowers mean that the strawberries are on their way!


The mint looks pawfect.



We hope your day was filled with lots of fun family time, hunting eggs, and tasty foodies. Happy Easter!!!

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 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.

Week twenty one in the garden

Look at our first watermelon coming in!!!

The sweet potatoes have finally produced slips and are almost ready to transplant.
Our zucchinis are growing like crazy. We get atleast a handful a week. Mommy has been making lots and lots of zucchini bread. Did I mention that Mommy and Daddy have grilled zucchini almost every night?
Can you see our first corn?
And these are our first two cantaloupe.
Look at the size of those cucumbers!
We are starting to see lots and lots of little green tomatoes. Mommy is very happy.
This is our third batch of turnips.
Our perilla and mint are growing really, really well. Mommy can't make tea fast enough to keep up with all the mint.
