With the rainy weather the baskets and veggie plants are happy and blooming.
But with the good, comes the buggy. Some mean little bug is devouring my Green Bean plants… Next year I’ll research my garden plan better, and make sure and attract some good bugs that will eat these bad bugs. Oh well, I hope to get a little Organic Produce out of this garden.
The plants are very happy about all of the rainy weather that we’ve had. I haven’t seen a bloom yet, but the garden is looking green and lush.
Today we had a visitor in the Hosta garden. I spotted an adorable little Toad that was keeping cool under the leaves.
I ran inside to get Thade so he could see “our visitor”. Thade thought he was so cute. I hope that our little toad sticks around and helps out with the pest control! The mosquitoes are eating us alive when we venture outdoors.
I finally got my garden planted a little over a week ago, and I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
This morning I was up early and I thought I had better go out and see how the garden has been doing. We have had so much rain the last week, I thought I would go out and see a gigantic mud puddle…
But guess what?!? I have plants!!!
I’m so excited, it looks like almost everything is growing! So far the cucumber, watermelon, yellow squash, zucchini, green beans, and cantaloupe are sprouting, but no sign of those Bell Peppers just yet.
I ran inside and got Thade to see our garden. He was thrilled to see the little plants growing, and he can’t wait to water the garden later today. I’m still surprised, I really didn’t think that anything would grow. Let’s just hope that all of the plants will keep growing, and pretty soon we’ll have a garden full of tasty veggies.
Now I just need to figure out what is eating the poor Hosta…
Yahoo my camera is back, and I’m back to sewing too. I’ve been making Reusable Grocery Totes, and I hope to get a few more made this week. They are super fun to sew, but now I’m in need of more fabric 😉
On Sunday I made a grocery run for some much needed items, the flu had made a return to our household, and I had a lot of cleaning to do. Trash Bags were on my list, and I was also looking for a good deal. I usually buy the Wal-Mart brand trash bags, but I spotted Good Sense Recycled Trash Bags on sale for $2.50 🙂 I decided to give them a try, and I’m very pleased with their product.
This is one Green alternative that saved me a little green too. I saved $.68 purchasing the Good Sense trash bags 🙂
