Garden Update

Even though we've been having some crazy weather here, we've still enjoyed gardening! most of these pictures were taken a few weeks ago, so now, things are probably bigger or possibly dead (like our snow peas which do not like hot weather...)

carrots, parsley, and pepper plants in square foot gardening box.

beets! (my first attempt this year, and surprisingly, they ARE very easy to grow and delicious when roasted!)

tomatoes

zucchini

raspberries

kohlrabi (sp? this grows very easily, and tasted like broccoli stems basically)

snow peas

parker is getting into all sorts of things these days. Here he is at one of his favorite spots, our indoor recycling bin...

One of Payton's daily activities this summer, his kindergarten/first grade book. I meant to buy the "preparing for Kindergarten" book, since he still has another year before kindergarten. However, I apparently bought the bridge to first grade by accident. Too bad I didn't notice until he had done about 20 pages and I was thinking that they sure do expect alot of kindergarteners (i.e. subtraction, reading stories and answering questions, calculating money from coins, etc)! oops!

green onions (sorry photos out of order)

payton posing with his bunny sign. I would like to note, that since the sign has gone up, we have not seen any bunnies...

payton's favorite part, picking harvest from the garden!
