Spring Veggies

How I wish these were from my garden ; ) My Mom visited us on Wednesday, and brought us some delicious veggies from her favorite Farmer’s Market. One Yellow Squash didn’t make it in to the picture, I made tasty Squash Couscous for lunch.

Thade had such a fun time at our local Farmer’s Market last weekend. He made a request for us to walk down there tomorrow morning. I hope to get there a little early, and maybe find some Strawberries, and of course those delicious Cinnamon Rolls.

I finally got my garden planted this week, so I hope to have some tasty veggies soon. Thade can’t wait to help out in the garden, and he even said he would try a veggie or two.

Gardening at Nico’s

When I say that I am a gardening novice, I really, truly am. This Summer I’ve decided to start small, and hopefully grow into a gardener, even if I don’t happen to have a green thumb. I set my sites on 4 hanging baskets, a small Hosta garden, and a teeny tiny Veggie/Melon garden.

Only one and maybe half of a hanging basket are thriving. The other two have gone on to potted plant Heaven… I’m going to replant them with Inpatients, because it seems to be the only flower that I can grow (which is kinda funny). The Hosta are doing well, and the leftover Pansy that I over-purchased for the hanging baskets are doing great too. The veggie garden is another story…

I haven’t planted it yet… I’m still pulling weeds. Everyday Thade asks when can we plant our veggies, and I tell him just as soon as Mommy has gotten rid of all of the weeds. It is a slow going process and my thumbs are killing me 😉 I hope I’m not too late in the season, I swear we had frost last month 🙂

 

How are your Summer Gardening Projects going?

Under Wraps

Just when I thought it was finally Spring there is a frost advisory for tonight. I scrambled around this evening, and got all of the plants covered with plastic. I reused the plastic that covered my hubby’s new recliner, and it came in very handy for the garden. I hope that it will keep the plants safe and warm 🙂

I just hope that it doesn’t get too cold, we were finally getting some pretty little leaves on all of the trees.

How is the weather in your neighborhood? Are you sitting pretty in Spring, or is Winter still hanging on?
