Watch me grow...

Spring is in the air! This is one of my favorite times of the year, the days are getting warmer and the sun is shinning longer and life seems to be full. This year, I am trying my hand at a vegetable garden and pleased with the progress so far. Some of my vegetables were planted from seed (okra, summer squash, tomatoes, and sweet bell peppers) and for others (cucumbers, banana peppers, and zucchini) I purchased plants. Here is a little of what has taken place since planting seeds on 2/20/12.

Although my focus has been on vegetables, I did plant some miniature sunflowers for Payton's 4H group and as you can see, they have sprouted up as well.  However, the true test for all of this will be the harvesting of edible veggies and actual flowers so we shall see what happens in the weeks to come.

For now, it is time to rest up for the busy week.  Fair pen set up Monday, Payton has basketball on Tuesday and Kennedy has her first home track meet on Thursday! 

Until next time,

XOXO!
