Week fourteen in the gargen

Hi there, baby sugar pumpkin. We can't wait to see more and more of you.

The spaghetti squash is getting really big.

We are more than ecstatic to see our first cucumber.

The lettuce is doing extremely well in the raised bed. They look ready to be eaten.

These tomatoes should go very well with the lettuce for a yummy salad tomorrow night.

The swiss chard looks ready for harvest. We don't really like swiss chard but Mommy and Daddy seem to love it.

We think the corn grew about eight inches this week. They must really like the hot weather.

Look at the size of the oranges. We wonder when they'll start turning orange?

We hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend.

Week five in the garden

Wahoo! Our Yukon Gold potato plants are really popping out of the dirt finally.

So is our newly planted garlic patch.

I can see little radish's already sprouting up too.

They are growing really fast just like our beets.

and turnips. It is already time to thin out our little vegetable rows to make room for some big time growth spurts.

Have you ever heard of Spaghetti Squash? I haven't either but it is growing big leaves already just like the zucchini we planted from seed.

I wasn't even looking for baby oranges today but a dove flew in and landed on one of our citrus trees. As Sierra and I were bird watching, I noticed that there were a few little flowers up there and that's when I saw these little beauties. We can count the days it takes them to grow into full size oranges.
