Whatever Wednesday ( garden)

The garden is starting to produce!!

The zuchini I have picked t his week.

The cucumbers are coming on.

My tomatoes are cracking down the side and now we can't eat them. Does anyone has an idea why?

The one in the garden itself is doing much better than the one in the pot.

Whatever Wednesday ( Garden)

It's Wednesday so that means we get to update you on how our gardens are doing!

Mindy's Garden

It is really getting big which is amazing sine it has been so dry and hot here in Indiana.

We finally decided to put some Miracle Grow on our plants last night. My youngest daughter wanted to help.

The zucchini is doing really well. Pretty soon I can make bread from it!

The tomatoes are really coming along to.

The watermelon is just starting to grow, not sure why it has taken so long.

I also have cantaloupe, green peppers, and cucumbers in the garden. They all have blooms but no produce yet.

 Stephanie's garden

My first harvest

this was a mystery plant now looks like tomato's 

more tomatoes

look at the pretty watermelon.  If I can keep the new puppy away from it.

Yellow summer squash

remember I said there were cucumbers growing well I was wrong they are jack be little pumpkins not edible but nice for decoration this fall. 

I hope everyone's garden is doing good also.  Have a great day.

Mindy & Stephanie

what ever Wednesday surprise in the garden

I was out in the garden the other day pulling so weeds and looked over to the side and guess what I found.

tomato plants

 

more tomatoes

more tomatoes

and even more tomatoes

Last year we grew tomatoes and other veggies with out the boxes.  I was very surprised and very HAPPY to see them come back from the green tomatoes that where plowed under.  As I have said I really want a lot of tomatoes to use in chili and tomato sauces.   

Now me and Scott are having a debate.  He wants me to move my nice new plants but I want to just pull the weeds around them and put cages around them.  I am afraid moving them will kill them.

Whatever Wednesday how does are garden grow.

Whatever Wednesday ( garden)

I finally have stuff growing!!!! I am so excited. Pretty soon both Stephanie and I should have a garden full of vegetables and then we will be posting recipes to go with those veggies.

Here is a green pepper. I have 2 green pepper plants planted.

Tomatoes. I have 4 tomato plants planted. I am thinking of going and buying a couple cherry tomato plants also. They will have to go into pots like this one since the garden is full already.

I even have some blueberries starting to come on. My husband will be so happy when they get ripe.
