Little Gardener

For the past two days Maggie and I have been working on a garden.  Maggie did all of the work getting started on it.  She tilled up the dirt and planted the first two rows of veggies.  I came over late yesterday afternoon and helped some.  This morning I got up early and ran.  After breakfast we met Maggie, Katy and Alex and went to CO-OP to get some more plants.  We made a stop at Wal-Mart to pick up some Liquid-Feed to fertilize the plants once a week.  When we got back to Maggie's house Katy and I put our kiddos down for a nap.  It was about to rain so we figured we needed to hurry up and plant so that we could get it all done today.  We planted all of our favorite things.  We planted jalapeños, cayenne peppers, bell peppers, banana peppers, tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini squash, okra and cucumbers.  We plan on doing a few more things but thats all we have so far.  After nap time Liam decided he wanted to help water the plants.  Here are some pictures of our little gardener.

This is Liam's poor little (dead) plant.  He accidentally fell on him and broke him in half.  We tried to save him but it doesn't look like his is going to make it.


He liked playing in the mud puddles that Maggie made when she was watering the plants.






They found another plant that was on its last leg.  We think one of Maggie's dogs ran over it.


Washing off our muddy hands.



Aunt Maggie acting like she is going to spray him.  He thought it was hilarious!


Our semi finished garden.


I will be sure to update when they start growing and are ready to pick!!!
