Bigger is Always Better!


That is my new gardening motto. Bigger is Always Better. I know that the bigger they are, they don't taste as good, but I don't care! I like to see how big I can get them! This one is the record holder for now. I needed Cade to hold it so you can tell how huge it is. I told him to give it loves (I don't know why I told him that)!

How does your garden grow?





Sour?


We decided that we would try doing a garden this year. We have these three different levels on the side of my house that are filled with rocks. We thought maybe the rocks would keep the weeds out so we left them where they were and planted the garden in the rocks. My mom came over (I was really sick that day, darn) and had the boys help her plant the garden. I didn't post it cuz I thought it would jinx the garden. Well, some of them are still alive! There have only been a few weeds. We go out there every day and water it. At first it was a pain, but once the stuff started growing, it is fun! We (I mean they) planted zucchini, strawberries, squash, tomatoes and cantelope. All but one of the zucchini plants died. The strawberries are doing great! Cade is the only one besides me that has been eating them. We haven't seen a tomatoe yet, but the plants look healthy. No sign of a cantelope yet and the squash is looking good! We are going to be eating the zuchinni tonight for dinner. For some reason there is only one that is big. I think it is taking all the nutrients for itself. Maybe now that we have picked it, the rest will grow.
