A garden

After a hot day, the garden looked like it really needed a drink. It amazingly recovered!




First thing out of the garden!

We decided to do a bit more of a garden this year then we have in the past. The kids really liked helping. Andrew helped water every morning. We planted some of the things from seed and transplanted a few. It ended up growing a lot better then we expected. We only had a few set backs. First of all, some of the plants were mislabeled so when we thought we were getting one jalapeno plant and four green pepper plants, we actually got five jalapeno plants. That was A LOT of jalapenos this summer. We also had a problem with the heat. The plants dried up quickly in the pots on hot days. I took a picture of the garden when I had been gone all day. I was surprised when I watered it and it came back to life! The cucumbers and tomatoes were delicious. We also had radishes, cilantro, basil, and jalapenos, jalapenos, jalapenos! We learned a lot. It will be fun to do it again.
