Garden is Planted

Remember when I was so excited about my little garden I was going to grow this summer?  Remember how I started seeds? 

Well those seeds that I started did not do so well.  They all pretty much died!  I watered them!  I loved them!  I put them in the sun!  My green thumb just is not as green as I thought it was.  More yellowish-brown!! 

We still wanted a garden and had the plot for it.  So we decided to hit the local nursery and buy their stuff instead of use our dead stuff.  I think we will do this every year – so much easier!!  Their stuff is big and healthy and ready for planting!  We loaded our cart up with fun veggies and came home to plant the garden!

I have my herb section in the front:  cilantro, basil and parsley.  We have bell peppers, jalapenos, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, watermelons, and honey dews.

These peppers look so much better then the ones I started from seeds.  Mine were brownish and a quarter of the size.

Jesse wanted to try his hand at honeydews and watermelons.

What’s a garden without tomatoes!!?  I can’t wait!  I can mix them up with my fresh basil!  Oh yum!

 

Here is an update on my lilac bush…

Yup!  Just a couple of sticks now!  She finished it off the other day!

I hear you asking… how is Maggie doing with the garden we just planted?  So far – so good!!  She really can listen when she wants – that want is just not always there for her. 

Oh… how about a quick baby update:  I went to the Dr. on Friday and I was told that she has dropped into the birth canal!!  I better go pack our bags – sounds like this could happen any day now!!
