Garden Update

SO after much pressure from an unknown person (Hi Sam!) I took some pictures of my garden. I have been meaning to do this anyway. So she gave me just the right push to do it! Check out her blog....she has a baby watermelon! www.samantharae2008.blogspot.com

Last week I decided to finally get some tomato cages. Want to hear the funny thing? I was watching the 3 boys that day and decided to take all 5 kids to Steins to get the cages. Yes 5 kids 4 and under! (Ashlynn was at my parents house) I must be crazy! But we did and we survived. So I was putting the cages on and trying to not break any branches off in the mean time. Notice I said trying. Well wouldn't you know it. I broke 2 branches off and of course the only 2 branches that have tomatoes on them! I was so mad I was almost crying. One branch even had 5 little tomatoes coming in. UGH But in the meantime I did find 3 pea pods and they were oh so good!

So I went out this morning to take some pictures and found 2 more peapods.
The girls shared them and LOVED them! yay!

Then I found a few more tomatoes. Thank goodness I was starting to sweat that I had broken all the ones that we would have!



And then the cucumbers are coming in too. I have 4 little ones I see and then there are about 5 flowers on the one AND only plant that I have!





I jsut really love gardening and now I know things that I need to do different for next year. For example I planted Scallion onions and the seeds are so small that I planted like 10 in one spot. Well they are not doing well at all. I was at my parents last weekend and they planted their garden later then me and my dad already has nice size onions! They were so good too! So that will be different next year. And the peas and cucumbers I will be buying some sort of fencing so that they can climb it.



As for this last weekend we had a lot of fun hanging out with some friends at our house. Rhonda and Dennis (Randy's mom and step dad) came over and grilled for us. It was fun and the kids were able to play in the sprinklers and run around. We definately have to do that again.

Until next time.....
