Week thirteen in the garden

As you can see, our potato plants are doing very well. They look super healthy and are sure to reap a heavy harvest.

The same can be said about our tomato plants. Daddy was wise to space out the plants like this, giving them plenty of room to grow is definitely going to pay off. I already see flowers in bloom so I know tomatoes are on the way.

I know the broccoli plant doesn't grow very fast but this broccoli flower seemed to have appeared overnight.

All hail the kale. The mightiest in all our garden. No matter how much we eat, it just keeps growing and growing.

Ok, so here's the weird thing about our "sparsely parsley" plant. It has been really stretching out the last few weeks, and that's fine with me as long all those branches start filling in soon. Mommy wants some parsley already.

***HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the beautifully amazing mommies out there!!!***

Week seven in the garden

The potatoes are coming along nicely. It looks like we're not the only ones who are interested in seeing our Yukon Golds grow. Someone has been munching on the leaves and that doesn't make me very happy. We hope the neem oil will keep that someone away.


The San Marzano and Cherry Gold tomato and zucchini plants are looking very healthy. All the leaves look very thick and green.


Is the kale ready to be harvested again after just one week? As always, we are very impressed by this super green garden gem.


The parsley and chives are looking amazing and ready to eat.

Week six in the garden

We've been hard at work in our garden. Planting French Breakfast Radishes, Purple Top White Globe Turnips, and some Bull's Blood Beets is just the tip of the iceberg.

We also transplanted a couple of San Marzano Tomato plants and they look great. Mommy hasn't decided where to put this Zucchini Black Beauty so Daddy transplanted it into a pot for now.

You wouldn't know by looking, but Mommy harvested a bunch of the Kale Blue Curled Scotch today. The De Cicco Broccoli is also growing just fine with out any help from us. Who can forget about the onions, I can smell them as soon as I step outside.

The Italian Parsley is finally getting greener so it should start becoming more fragrant too. After we covered the Chives with plastic to protect them from a storm they have been looking better than ever. I guess they liked the warmth in side the mini greenhouse tunnel cover.

Daddy was dipping the seed Yukon Gold Potatoes in wood ash to callous them before planting. Daddy is creating a tower of potatoes that is sure to to grow tons of the yummy earth apples. So stay tuned we will be sharing some pictures soon.

Week five in the garden

We have tomatoes, peppers, and squash growing under a fluorescent light and they are looking good.


Our tunnel covers have really worked good when we have needed them.


Daddy is warming up the soil for our carrots, beets and radishes.


The onions are doing well we but need to plant more.


Mommy can't wait for the broccoli to grow.


Of course the Kale is simply amazing. Super healthy in so many ways.


Chives go with so many dishes. Mommy is glad they are finally taking off.


The parsley has been getting greener and greener.


Today Daddy planted more garlic to fill in any empy spots in our few rows growing.

Week three in the garden

This little gate is there to keep us out of our veggie garden. (We are only allowed to be in there under pawrental supervision). But I think we all know that we could easily jump over the little gate.


We're amazed at how fast the kale grows.


It's great to have so much fresh parsley.


The garlic grew about 3 inches this week.


Mommy thinks the thyme is beautiful right now.

Week thirty two in the garden

Look who's starting to look more like an orange.

Our experience with chives has told us that they thrive in the winter. We'll have our paws crossed that this herb will have doubled in size by Spring.

Parsley is the herb that keeps going and going and going....

What should Mommy make with the swiss chard? Do you have any suggestions?

Mommy told me she'll be using a ton of kale tomorrow to make zuppa toscana.

The cherry tomatoes are still growing. We hope to harvest a few more before First Frost.

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!

It's almost the end of gardening season. I'm still hopeful that we will still get a few more days of sunshine before the rest of our garden dies off completely. We had a few nights of freezing temperatures but that was enough to kill the tomatoes. Almost all of our garden is dead.

Our cucumber plant did not make it.

We're thankful our parsley did.

The jalapenos look pretty good.

And so does the broccoli.

And the kale.

And the lettuce.

Do you have anything growing in your garden right now?

Week thirty four in the garden

Our broccoli is really starting to take off!

We still have lots of jalapenos growing.
I am really hoping that our watermelon will be ready soon. Daddy says we have to wait until the vine starts turning brown.
Mommy loves our parsley plant lasts all year long.
We still have lots of tomatoes coming in.
This onion almost looks like a pineapple.
Who knew basil could be so pretty?
Our sweet potatoes look like they are on track to be ready for harvest at the end of November.
