Week seven in the garden

Daddy went to work on the garden as soon as he and Mommy got home from church today. The mint plants needed to go into the ground. Look at my hard working Daddy. I tried to convince him to use a shovel but he said there's nothing better than working the ground with your hands.
After they'd all been planted, Daddy said they needed lots of water. Too bad we didn't know the rain was coming...and staying, all day.
Our heirloom tomatoes, kale, herbs, and onion are doing great!
Our other seeds have started sprouting too! We couldn't believe it. We were very excited to see the heirloom tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, and stevia.
The potatoes have yet to make an appearance. It rained almost all day today. But guess what? It stopped raining just in time for our walk. Whew! Did everyone enjoy their weekend?

Week six in the garden

Happy Easter, everyone!!! I hope everyone had a great day family lots of family, food, and love.

Look at how well our seedlings are doing. Our heirloom Brandywine tomatoes are the biggest right now. We have yet to see our heirloom bell peppers sprout. Daddy thinks it might not be warm enough for them to start sprouting.
Our strawberries look just about the same as they did last week. I hope to see them grow this week.
Daddy planted more seeds today...stevia, heirloom cherry tomatoes, parsley, cabbage, broccoli, and more heirloom tomatoes. Sierra and I helped supervise.
After all our hard work, the real fun began. Here I am checking out my Easter basket. There was a green squeaky stuffie, organic beef jerky, and tons of plastic eggs. Mommy and Daddy there were surprises in a few on them. I sniffed my way through the eggs.
So did Sierra, well she did after this picture. She was a caught a little off guard because of the bunny ears.
I found the hidden treasure...organic carob chips. Yummy!!! Sierra ate hers too fast so Mommy wasn't able to get a picture.
Then it was time for the Easter feast...ham, au gratin potatoes, caesar salad, butter biscuits, and green beans.
What was your favorite thing about Easter?
