Wednesday

I am writing this on Tuesday night. I was so tired yesterday that I went to bed at ten.  I do not remember a thing until 7:00 a.m. when I woke to the sound of a city employee banging on my door.  I had to move my car out of my driveway because the water main broke right in front of my house. 

I have gotten quite a bit on my to do list done, but not as much as I wanted, as you can tell if you were to check my etsy site.  I have plans for it.  I really, really do.   

My garden is doing pretty well.  I pick a handful of green beans every other day and after a week I have enough to steam for a meal.  Yay! Molly's sunflower is starting to flower now, but the flower is pointed to the east of course, which is the fence. :) That's why they call them sunflowers I guess. I picked three tomatoes today.  I think I am going to puree them and freeze them to make spaghetti sauce with this fall.  I read an article about that BPA stuff they put on the inside of the cans and I thought it would be good to avoid them when I can.  

I'd have taken a picture of the garden, but the batteries are dead in the camera. 

Let's try for a more productive Wednesday! Yay! 

Thus ends the month of June. 

Current Garden Pics

As I said before, MOST of my garden has rebounded from that crazy hail storm. The tomato plants are going nuts. We were thinking that our backyard probably hasn't been used for such a purpose
in god only knows how long. The plants are getting everything they need. There are also lots of earthworms in our yard. That blank spot is where I lost two green bean plants that were not very tall yet. Only one sunflower survived, but it has really taken off. It'll be taller than Molly soon. I also have tiny green beans growing. I'm so excited!

Gardening

I have started to dig up a portion of my back yard to grow a few vegetables this year. I meant to have it done already but it kept snowing. I wanted to start off slow for my first year. I bought seed potatoes the other day, and I have some green bean seeds. I want to buy some tomato plants. My husband wants to be in charge of peppers. I think that will be enough for this year.

Here's a picture from that last snow from the 13th of March. The other picture I took a couple weeks earlier. That kid's imagination is amazing to me. But then I'm her mother, I'm sure she's not out of the ordinary. I will take a picture of the garden when I get it ready.

Happy gardening!
