Gardening Take Two

Okay, this time I think we got it right...

It only took me an extra day to move the forms to a new "sunnier" area of the yard so we were once again ready to plant. Maddy wrote out our plant markers for us and Miranda and I drew up a map of our garden so we could keep track of what is where.

We got all of our supplies ready and waited for Jake to get home. We forgot that it has been getting darker much earlier, but we still managed to get most of the seeds planted and watered anyways.

The girls were very excited about planting the holly hock seed they got in the mail from Nana, as well as the sunflower and snapdragons seeds that they picked out.

Patrick was content just to play with the hose and make lots of mud. True boy...

We planted around the 24th of September (yes I'm slow updating), but now you can see how our little garden is progressing.

We have beans...
peas...
sunflowers, (top photo) cucumbers and a bunch of radishes in that one crowded box down there. The radishes were the first to come up and gave us hope that the rest of our seeds would eventually come up as well.

So far this gardening thing is a lot of fun. Either Patrick or Miranda helps me water every morning and Maddy does it in the evenings. We all get so excited when we find a new start or find that something is noticeably taller.

I will still be surprised to see if/when we get any veggies from any of these teeny little starts, but so far so good...
