Tiny Foods
These are Joshua’s favorite…we planted them closest to the deck so that he could eat them whenever he would like!
Young Square Foot Garden
Our Square Foot Garden is still very young. We still need to plant two of the blocks. They will house carrots and onions. Everything else seems to be growing pretty well.
Little Watermelon Vines
Our watermelon vines are still very small. We’re hoping that they will grow enough to harvest some over the summer. I’m still learning about all of this so I guess we’ll wait and see!
Little Plum Trees
The plum trees are “awakening”. I need to do some research about the proper pruning and care for these little growing trees!
1st Eggplant
Looks like the beginning of our first eggplant! We are very excited to be getting this!!
Bell Pepper- Oops!
Looks like something enjoyed this bell pepper before we got the chance!!
1st Bell Pepper
This is our first good bell pepper. They look yucky when they are first growing but it’s just part of the process.
Blooming Marigolds
I‘m excited to see little blooms on my marigolds. We harvest our seeds each year from the plants the year before. You can do this by breaking open the bloom after it has dried (marigold seeds look like tiny match sticks). Marigolds will keep pests from your garden, and mosquitoes from your home if you plant them on either side…
Chore Packs, Day 1
This is the next step in our chore pack progress…printing out 5 morning chores each for our little guys and placing them into protective covers. I’ll post more when we go on to the next step!
Being Fruitful?
8:02???? I’m getting such a late start this morning! I hate to admit, when Paul left for work this morning, I went back to bed. I do feel better than I did when I first woke up…I think that I didn’t get enough sleep last night!! I’m posting several pictures this morning! This is an update to my little gardening…
