Gardening Pics

My garden is fully planted. We added onto the garden as I realized had I planted everything I wanted, we would not have had enough room.
We have spinach, 11 pumpkin plants, 5 Cantaloupe and 1 honeydew growing so far.

(This is the new section)

This is an iris that was at my grandmother's house I transplanted here. They did not bloom last year.

Sunflowers are starting to come up near the house.

Here are the flowers planted in front of the house on the deck.

Herb photo update

I finally took pics of my herbs today. My anise and Summer Savory have poked through. They all are stretching towards the light today.

Seeing how many pods have sprouted every day brings a smile to my face.  :)

Room update via pics

Here are a couple more photos of the room being framed in and a pic of where I planted my bulbs.

Morning

How is everyone's garden growing??
We have had out first cut of lettuce and are radishes are almost completely done. Some of them have gone to seed but my chickens love the greens.

My cucumbers are finally perking up!!

Hubby put in the ac's this week as it is pretty near 90 this week with high percentage of humidity.  

As i'm writing this my cat is waiting for the hummingbirds to come to the feeder. 

(Of course he jumped down as I was getting ready to take a picture.)

Today is a busy day for us.  We have lots of appointments. I need to make a fresh salad to go with supper tonight. i love having fresh greens from the garden.

I even made my Aunt's recipe for taco dip this week. With lettuce from our garden.

My neighbor across the street has had a black bear in her yard. She said this past week her family was sitting on the back deck when the bear came out of the little woods line and sat in her back driveway. We think now the bear is the one that wrecked the kids tents. This is the 3rd set the black bears have ruined over the last few years. If it ever comes in our yard I will be sure to snap a pic and share with you.

My husband and son did see this sweet family while mowing this past week.

I am finishing up housework this am in order to be able to get in the pool with the kids. I need to go feed the ladies and water the garden this morning.

Have a great Tuesday!!

Photo of our garden

I love how much everything is growing. I don't think I will be able to can much this year but we are going to expand our garden next year.

Summer is finally here

Pics of the garden coming in. We also had 11 radishes today that were delicious!:)
I never realized how peaceful weeding a garden is. It's also nice seeing it look rather tidy after.
The kiddos are all on vacation now. I'm praying we have a good balance of nice weather to rainy weather. It is nice watching them all play together outside.

Photo update

We completed some yard work yesterday. I will also post a pic of our garden.

So EXCITED

The 2 Littles and I checked on our garden and we have some growth!!!

Radishes, lettuce, beats and zucchini are up. :)
