Quite Contrary, Garden Log 3

My dearest readers!


I've been horrible about updating our garden progress. I've been waiting to take pictures and still haven't gotten around to it. (All week my focus has been school and getting organized with that. I took my first test today and got an 85. I studied very hard and was hoping for an A, but I'm happy with my grade. I now know what to expect and it takes the pressure off some. ;)

So back to the garden update, so far we have had a few zucchini plants harvested. We used the first one in spaghetti and it was amazing! The other night we steamed some to go along with the main course, also very good. We have other plants that look like they will need harvesting soon! So excited to see the fruit of our labors!

The only bad note this time is one of our cucumber plants died. Our begonias are also struggling in the GA heat. We could seriously use some rain down here! We water the garden everyday now, but there's nothing like natural rain water. :) I would also love to hear it on the roof again!

Any fellow gardeners out there? How are your plants doing?

ps. I'm going to try and do better and get pictures next time! ;)

Hey everyone,

I thought today would be a good day to update you on the garden. So far the only thing that is really growing is our zucchini.

I don't know if it's the bipolar weather or if it's the fact that my mother's dog peed on them...but the daisies have been looking bad ever since. :/ Also the lawn guy ran over our hydrangea bush, so I have little hope of them growing.

On the bright side, the day lilies and begonias seem to be doing well. :)

Hopefully, I'll have some better news on the next update!


14. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity?

I probably have...I'm pretty sure I've seen more of the reverse. I usually see the beauty in things first and then realize the reality of that thing/person/situation.

Hey everyone!

It’s a nice rainy day here. I’m sure our plants are appreciating it.

Yesterday evening, we tilled our vegetable garden and got all of our seeds planted. We also planted our hydrangea bush and other flowers. I have to say it was hard work, but enjoyable. I slept pretty well last night...lol.

Our vegetable garden:

Sophie watching our progress. She looked like she was thinking: "How nice of mommy and daddy to dig me some holes. So I don't have to do the dirty work." lol.

Vegetable garden seeds:)

Hydrangea bush, we certainly hope that it will grow as easy as the instructions said on the package. ;)

Beautiful Begonias:)

My favorite flower!

I look forward to seeing the fruits of our labor and sharing more garden posts with you all. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Ps. I found the missing pictures, most of them got posted here. :)
