. . . but I'm back blogging.
Today, let's check out the garden. The Lizard King has taken over and he is thoroughly enjoying it. I hate gardening, truly, and decided that I was just done. Princess enjoys gardening and has spent a good amount of time helping.
We bought a few starts this year, but LK decided to plant seeds in the spring to grow his own starts.
LK put paver stones in so it's easier to walk in the garden, especially once things start growing.
Here are the kale and beets that LK started from seed, ready to go into the garden.
Tomatoes were also started from seed.
This year we've planted lettuce, potatoes, zucchini, green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, beets, kale, and strawberries. This is the second year for the strawberries we planted last year and WOW do we have strawberries. This was the first batch and we got three times as many on the second batch. There are more out there that need to be picked. I am amazed!
I bet you're wondering what I did while all this gardening was happening. Well, I took pictures and sat in this chair. :) What a life!
What is growing in your garden?
The garden looks great. I would like the sitting in the chair part too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Secret Mom! And yes, the chair is quite comfy. ;)
DeleteThose strawberries look delish!!!! You're garden looks great, and I love the rocks with the flowers behind the chair. Such a relaxing place! I'll have to stop for a visit next year!!! : )
ReplyDeleteMandy, the strawberries as sooooo gooood! And yes, you should definitely come out here next year. If you come before LIFE is Good starts, we can have you all for dinner. :)
DeleteThere's really just one thing wrong with this post... YOU need to be in it. What good is the empty chair??? ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL Ute! I'll try to get me in the pic next time. ;-p
DeleteI love your tiered garden, it's so whimsical. Princess sure looks like she's enjoying gardening and Mmmmm strawberries. I have raspberry bushes that sprouted up through the neighbour's yard but unfortunately the squirrels and birds get at them before I do. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to get me one of those lounge chairs. Looks comfy.
Thank you, Sheri! One of my favorite things about our yard is the tiered wall with the big rocks. The really cool thing is that the rocks came out of the ground. We're on a mountain! I love that they used the natural landscape to landscape our yard. :)
DeleteThose darn squirrels and birds! We do have some strawberries that get eaten by the birds, but we put bird feeders by the strawberries, so maybe that will attract them away from the berries.
And yes, my friend, you need one of those lounge chairs. It was my Mother's Day gift last year.
