More in the Garden

Our garden is doing so well.  Seriously, way better than I ever expected it to for our first go round.  I think it has something to do with the all natural organic fertilizer we have (aka horse poop from my dad's four horses).  Today we picked our first squash...
And we have lots more squash growing that will be ready for picking soon!
Along with lots of zucchini...

And lots of little green tomatoes just waiting to turn red...
And yummy delicate lettuce that is unfortunately getting overrun by the squash plants (I'll now better where to plant things next year)..
And we've just started seeing flowers on the cucumber vines, so we should start seeing the actual vegetable soon...

Oh, and I'm choosing to ignore the snake skin Wyatt found in the garden....

We're Gardening

We've planted our first ever garden and I'm so excited about it. The boys are having such a good time too. We've got tomatoes, all types of peppers, onions, spinach, 3 types of lettuce, squash and zucchini, eggplant, strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, and all kinds of herbs. It's so fun to see everything growing. My dad has 4 horses, so we've got lots of fertilizer (hee hee). Everything is growing and sprouting like mad. It's fantastic.
