my 6th child

No silly, its not my husband, its...

the garden

I love her

She is a bit unruly sometimes

But so awesome. 

Since this is our 2nd year I'm now an expert (insert hysterical laughing) 

but its a different flavor this year, much because of what was offered at the store.

we have lots of spaghetti squash

my dang tomato plants are huge but  all green or just flowers. 

should have started earlier.

when did i start this year?  can't remember

see the problem?

oh yes and funny, not funny story. 

the other nite at the paparazzi party, I told Paisley to go get some carrots 

in the kitchen that I had with ranch. 

well she comes back a few minutes later and hands me a bag of greens. 

i knew what it was immediately.

oh no. the carrots from the garden (which weren't ripe and have been growing for ever)

all the tops she picked off.

she had the happiest look on her face.

 oh well, thats kinda how gardening is.

its a pure miracle to actually get something

especially with all the helpers

 

i got one little watermelon.

not worth the space it

the kids love corn and it looks cool too

but takes up a lot of space in my opinion

this year i decided to grow as strange of stuff i could get

like these peter pan zucchinis...not sure what to do with them

 i'm really good at growing a million weeds

and they are winning, i can't seem to pick them fast enough

 the persian cucumbers are the best

tons and delicious.

persian cucumbers are smaller and you eat the skin

 and i decided to plant ever funky color of tomato i could find.

no regular red ones here

 good bye carrots

plants about 50

grew about 20

now have zero

ya win some and lose some

glad i took a picture first

 basil 

i never plant enough basil

come on crazy tomatoes, hurry up!
