First lettuce and strawberries!

We were able to have our first salad from our garden this week! It rocked! Korey and Eli were also able to pick about four strawberries from the smart pot and scarfed them down. The kids are having so much fun helping with the garden this year. They love to help me water and pick/cut the produce. I have been totally revamping my front flower garden too, so I will be posting pictures soon. I've probably transplanted 50-100 flowers from my mom's amazing flower garden. The broccoli is headed out and a first cutting will be happening soon!

Late Spring planting

We have completely finished our vegetable garden! The late Spring plants are in! We planted regular tomatoes, cherry and small tomatoes, a couple spicy peppers, a sweet pepper, and strawberries. The lettuce, spinach, and potatoes are all up and growing, and the broccoli is looking good! Eli was excited to plant his strawberries in a smart pot and put netting over them. It's a great feeling to have it done and get to focus on the flowers! My mom already gave me some transplants from her amazing garden to add to our front yard! She is going to bring down a load of transplants to help me fill in all the areas that need work. We'll probably do a lot of Shasta Daisies in the front and whatever else she has in abundance!
