I seem to always be running a day late on link-ups lately. It is time for the final link-up for
Our sunflowers really took off this year. This is one of the smaller ones that bloomed.
As you can tell in this poorly taken picture (with my cell phone), this one really took off and grew towards the sun! While we didn’t have an accurate measurement, we think it was close to 14-15ft high.
Next up is my bell peppers. I planted 5 different colors/kind this year. I am excited and can’t wait to see the different colors in a stir fry! I believe the one below is the orange petite kind.
This is our planter full of tomato plants. There are 4 different kinds of tomato plants in just this one spot. We have several more kids growing in our neighbors garden. She graciously allowed us a small section of it, since we had so many seedlings to take off.
If I am not mistaken, this is the Brandywine tomato.
My Green bell pepper plant has many little ones like this on it.
The onions we planted have a gorgeous white ball bloom on top. By the way, does anyone know when the onion is ready to be picked? I guess we need to google this question!
This is my favorite tomato that we planted. It is a German Queen tomato. They can get up to 2lbs in size if not bigger!
The yellow blurb in this picture is a squash and another squash bloom. I am so excited about my squash plants. This is the first year I have planted them and I have had some success! I am also looking forward to throwing squash in a stir fry!
Another, slightly better picture of my second squash plant. I think the birds have been enjoying the blooms off of this plant. They keep disappearing and falling off. I am sure it has nothing to do with the 2 bird nests on our front porch!
I did not get any pictures of our thyme, oregano, basil, parsley, sage, cucumbers, strawberries, okra, candy roaster or eggplant plants. However, they are all growing wonderfully and we are so excited for when we will be able to eat a little bit of everything from our garden this year.
The kids have also enjoyed helping take care of the garden. From the beginning, they helped plant seeds, watered, transplanted and have even cultivated some of their hard earned fruits. It is so wonderful to be able to teach the kids how they can live off the land by taking time each day caring for a garden.
Thanks so much to The Homeschool Village for have this awesome link-up. Please stop by and check out all the others who have linked up.
