Start of the Garden

We I spent our Family Home Evening in the Garden.

We had picked out the plants the previous weekend and had to get them planted.

While I was busy doing this.......

and this..............

Chris and the girls were doing this. Sandbox fun and silly face contest.

I promise I wipe her face throughout the day.
It looks as though she hasn't been washed in days!

Madison wanted to keep the silly faces going even after her two sisters got bored with it. We have quite the collection of pictures, but I only posted a few.

Time To Get My Hands Dirty

This is what I hope to be working on this evening.

Cherry Tomatoes

Better Boy Tomatoes

Strawberries (Ashley's choice)

Bell Peppers

and Zucchini.

This is my second year with a small garden. Last year I only planted tomatoes and flowers.

This year I wanted more fruits and vegetables, which means no flowers.

I'm ok with that. I just hope I can have another successful garden!

My Thumb is a Little Green After All

I have never really been good with keeping plants or flowers alive, so I have never planted a garden. I have always wanted to, but we didn't have room in our tiny yard until recently and I was afraid I would eventually kill everything we planted. This year we decided to give it a try.

Here are just a few pictures of flowers in my garden......

and the tomatoes......yes tomatoes. And we had lots of them! They actually survived and were yummy! Ashley and Madison loved to pick them with me when it was time.
