Because I know you like my garden....

We planted 11 tomato plants, 6 pepper plants, one pumpkin, two sunflower seed plants, and some herbs last night! We still have a few things to put in, but our seedlets aren't quite big enough yet.

Hardworking Hubby:

Hayden helping Daddy (in other words, telling Daddy how to do things..... oh three year old, how I love you...)

I harvested a ton of our swiss chard and spinach yesterday after I posted. It looks so empty in those rows now! The broccoli plants look gigantic.

Daddy apparently did something right!

Because if he didn't, this ornery kidlet would for sure call him on it...

Hayden didn't help most of the time. Both he and Ava were busy playing on the playset. We didn't come inside until 8:30 and the kids were so worn out that we didn't hear a peep out of them at bedtime. That's one of the things that I absolutely LOVE about summer. I can't wait until the pool is open! The kids have so much fun outside.

The Garden is Growing!

Photobucket



Our garden has grown SO much since the last time I posted about it. We have been eating spinach and swiss chard like it's going out of style and our broccoli crowns are finally growing! It's so exciting to see something you planted producing something. By no means do I consider myself a green thumb, but this stuff is actually pretty easy! What's better? We're going to get some tomatoes and herbs tonight to plant.

It's almost as big as her!!!!

Our lovely onions!

I did spend about 30 minutes today picking out grass that grew in there over the weekend, but it's pretty low maintenance. Plus, Ava helped!

BROCCOLI!!!! Look at the itty bitty baby one!

I am making swiss chard enchiladas later this week! I'll post the result and pics when I've had the taste test!

Giveaway Time: BIBS!!!

Congratulations to Kenziesmom and Munchkin Things & Strings!!! You are the winners! Thanks to everyone for entering! :D

Photobucket

I must admit that I love a good giveaway! This is just a small one, but these are new things! I just created these today!! I hope you all like them. I forced (ahem, bribed) my children for some photos. They were paid in Cadbury Mini-Eggs (yes from Easter) when we were done. **They were eaten after the bibs came off, btw.**
