Garden My Garden

It's cold and cloudy this morning so I am delaying my walk around the neighborhood for a little later and decided to finish up my first real post since getting back online here.

We recently leased 2 garden plots in a community garden not far from my home. I'm so excited about it. I've already started a patio/balcony garden at home with some neat Patio Tomatoes from Bonnie Plants. One has blossoms and one has blossoms and a tomato growing. Unfortunately, my 1st patio plant suffered severe hail damage and then was attacked by my 2 year old girl, lol. still, it's a hardy plant and is trying to make a comeback. Whether I get a fruit from it this year, who knows? I'm thinking to use it as an experiemental plant and try overwintering it. Here's what was left of it after the storm.



I'll post a new pic of it in the next day or so since it has started growing again. So far the garden is almost completely planted, I still have a pepper and tomato plant to transplant in there and then I will take a pic. Anyway, I highly recommend giving a garden a try, it's still not too late to get some veggies or annual type flowers out there. My kiddies have been having a really great time with it too. They each have their own little section or plant to care for. Here are a few pics of the garden before and after tilling. We decided to keep some heirloom type spinach at the behest of our garden neighbor Sophia. so that's the row of plants still in there.

Back in Effect

So once again I have let some time lapse between my last post and now. With two great reasons though, I promise. I added two members to my growing family. Lil Spirit (her nickname) is now 2 years old, and this February I finally got to meet what may be the last of my brood, Sweetie (also, her nickname). So I've been busy. With the summer months to look forward to, the older kids taking part in so many different activities from sports to scouting to gardening...I'm excited to start sharing with you again. Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog here. Have a great Summer!
