A summer cut

Garden snapshot ~ May

Everything is planted. The new vegetable garden looks great and quite happy with all the compost that I made last year mixed in! This year we are growing;
Jalapenos
Carrots (planted between the jalapeno plants to discourage rabbits)
Cucumbers
2 Early Girl tomatoes
2 Cherry tomatoes (Carter has claimed these plants)
Pole Beans
Patty pan squash
Summer crooked neck squash
A volunteer pumpkin (note to self, don't put pumpkin insides in to the compost bin!)




Herb Garden
Basil
Garlic (new this year!)
Lavender (new this year!)
Parsley
Chives
Mint




We practice organic gardening, which requires a lot of soil prep. It's sort of like painting, most of the work is setting up! Can't wait to see all the changes in the next month or so.

Blogging break

Is it that I don't have anything to say? Or maybe it's because the weather is too nice and we've been too busy playing outside and gardening and going to the park and re-meeting our neighbors? But whatever the case I've missed blogging, I will try to think up some good subject matter in the next week or so! In the meantime, here is some pics of the kids I took this weekend while we were at the LLL Conference this past weekend.





She loves to smile for the camera now!

P.S. your comments are my fuel, so keep me going ;)
