Update on adventures in gardening:)

Some may say I'm easily entertained and I wouldn't disagree with them......but seriously growing a garden has been so awesome. Not that it hasn't been a hard work, but it's rewarding work. I mean just look how beautiful growing food is!!

I've been fascinated at the small stuff and I may be the only one, but watching how plants grow up a trellis without any help is just pretty cool. haha I've been around gardens a lot and even helped pick from them, but I guess because I was never responsible for taking care of it, so I didn't notice all the details God has so perfectly designed. These little vine 'arm' things just grow off the plant searching for anything to attach to so the plant can grow upward and it's neat to watch how fast they can wrap around plus how sturdy they are.

Also didn't realize vegetable plants grow flowers right where the vegetable itself begins to bud and grow.

So now we've come pretty full circle from seed to harvest just waiting for a few slow growers to start producing fruit.....here's a look at the garden from a little over a month ago and its grown A LOT since then as you can see.

Oh, and here's one of my cute little helper.

DIY raised garden bed is done:)

Thanks to my wonderful husband for building and staining it! Though Breyton will tell you he built it if you ask! I'm excited to finish the garden now. Every thing is ready, so tomorrow we can put the liner and soil in.......then we plant!

The start of Breyton's first garden:)

We started the process of getting a very small scale garden going! We are currently planting tomato's, carrots, peppers, cucumber, and strawberries ....maybe a few others too. Breyton has enjoyed helping pick stuff out and definitely loved the dirt and planting seeds. Even though its harder we are starting from seeds because its much cheaper and trying not to invest more than necessary until we see if it's going to be successful.  We have a pretty redneck setup with random yogurt cups, styrofoam, and whatever other containers I had in the house, however it's working well. Our little seeds were planted last Monday the 20th, but are all already sprouting....B loves watching them come up and grow! Looking forward to this spring and summer;o)
