Week one in the garden

Whatcha got there, Daddy?


Is it already time to start seedlings?


Daddy planted zucchini, cherry tomatoes, San Marzano tomatoes, and two different kinds of Italian red peppers today.


Of course we snoopervised and kept a look out for birdies.


How did you spend your Sunday?

While Daddy is busy...

transplanting these baby seedlings,

I'll be bathing in the sun since it's much cooler than it has been all week.

Mommy is in the kitchen baking lots of goodies and Sierra is napping on the couch. How are you spending your Saturday?

Week twelve in the garden

Most of the seedlings in our greenhouse are growing!!! We are still waiting for the sweet potatoes to sprout.

Daddy transplanted the strawberry plants today. He also bought a golden strawberry plant. We can't wait to see what those will look like.
The bok choy grew a little this week.
The turnips grew a lot this week.
Since none of our bell pepper sprouted, Daddy finally broke down and bought a plant.
Look at out bear keeping watch over our heirloom tomatoes.
The mint also grew a lot this week.
And so did the potatoes. We wonder how big these plants will get???
The beets, corn, and zucchini are all in the ground and coming along. Happy gardening, everyone!!!

Week eleven in the garden

Remember the two boxes from yesterday? Well this is what was inside. Sierra and I were really hoping for Greenies or beef tendons but we're happy that Daddy bought a new compost bin. Our homemade one finally gave out and Daddy said it was time to buy one already!

All of our seedlings are doing great in the greenhouse! We haven't seen the avocados or the japanese sweet potatoes sprout so we are eagerly waiting for them.
The strawberries are doing great. We harvested a few today.
Look at how much the potatoes have grown since last week!
I think the mint plants grew just a bit.
The turnips are growing nicely. Daddy says we'll have to thin them out pretty soon.
And here are the first signs of life from the beets. Mommy loves beets.
Look at the bok choy. They are really starting to grow.
We transplanted some of the cucumber plants into bigger pots today.
And this is my view of the garden for now. Daddy says I can go in once everything starts growing.
Happy Mother's Day to all the pawesome mommies out there. I'm SO thankful for mine.:)

Week ten in the garden

We couldn't believe how much our potato plants grew this week. Sierra and I counted twenty seven plants!

We transported some of our seedlings into bigger pots.

The turnips are beginning to sprout.
I think our mint plants have grown just a tiny bit.
Look at these gorgeous strawberries. We harvested these today. We didn't get to eat any of them today. It was a busy day. I'm keeping my paws crossed for tomorrow.
Here is a glimpse of Grandma and Grandpa's plum tree. It's a huge tree and we can't wait to harvest all the plums. We are very excited!!!
It was Grandma's birthday today. All the humans went out to dinner to celebrate. Can you believe there weren't any leftovers? Ugh! Mommy made a homemade vanilla cake with chocolate frosting for Grandma. It was served wit vanilla ice cream. Did I mention it was delicious? So delicious that we forgot to take pictures. But all the pups had our share of vanilla cake (minus the frosting) and ice cream. Hurray for birthdays!!!

Week nine in the garden

Mommy kicked things off with a batch of applesauce. Daddy, Sierra and I thought it was delicious. Mommy uses it mostly for our cookies.

Then we got to work. Daddy transported our seedlings into bigger pots. We hope to see them grow quickly.
Look at all our seedlings!
We didn't harvest the two strawberries that were ready. I'm happy to report that there are lots of strawberries growing. I hope they turn red soon!
The potatoes are thriving. I just wish we could see underneath all that dirt.
This is all of Daddy's hard work. Starting a garden from scratch is not easy. Daddy paved a walk way where we'll put pavers. Can you see the mint plants? Daddy planted bell peppers, turnips, and beets behind them.
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

Week eight in the garden

Our seedlings are doing great...well, most of them are.

We still haven't seen the bell peppers. Daddy wonders when it'll be hot enough for them to sprout.
Look who finally made an appearance? The potatoes!!! We hope to see more from them this week.
Our mint plants are doing well. They haven't grown much but they are green and strong.
Daddy transported some of the heirloom tomatoes into bigger pots today. I hope they continue to grow strong.
Do you see those red strawberries? Mommy says we'll eat them sometime this week.
There are a ton of strawberries still to come!!! We can hardly wait.

Week four in the garden

It's been one whole month since we started our garden. The strawberries are slowly growing and I am already excited to harvest them. The seedlings are growing stronger and stronger every day. Daddy says we will be plating more seeds soon. I wonder what kind they'll be?

Week three in the garden

Happy 2nd day of Spring, everyone! The unpacking is going very well. Mommy got most of the kitchen unpacked while Daddy worked on unpacking the bedroom stuff. Sierra and I napped a lot since we didn't nap at all yesterday. We went for a great walk around the neighborhood. Daddy tried to play a trick on me during our walk. I was looking around our new neighborhood while Daddy was impatiently waiting for me so we could cross the street. As soon as he got my attention, he said, "Let's go!" I was in full sprint mode and took 2 steps before I realized that the sidewalk was ending. I stopped and sat like a good boy. Sneaky, sneaky, Daddy. I always sit before crossing the street. Our garden is doing well. I am so excited that there are strawberries growing. I hope the birds don't get to them before we do. All of our seedlings are sprouting like weeds. They'll be ready to go into the ground before we know it.
