I should give a disclaimer that we planted our garden a few weeks earlier than the frost dates suggested, which could've been an absolute failure, but it worked out okay down here because we've had a warmer than average Spring. So technically our garden has been growing for around 1 month now, and it has already been fertilized once. (We planted most everything the first week and a half of April, and I fertilized 2 weeks ago. I use the fish emulsion fertilizer, so I need to do it again soon..)
One of my garden helpers, watering the squash plants. See those blooms?
Our bachelor buttons are blooming!
We found this little guy today. Not sure what he is, but he was fun for Enoch to play with, and now he is no longer in my garden.
Our cucumbers have found the trellis and are putting out blooms!
Our pole beans (Rattlesnake beans) have found their trellis. The bush beans are in there too on the other side of the bucket and are also growing (Royalty Purple Pod beans)!
Our first little pepper is growing.
And our tomato plants have blooms (the cherry tomatoes).
Onions are growing a little.
A few strawberries are ripening, though critters usually get them before we are able to enjoy them.
Working on another project... he's a hard worker, this one, and he just loves being outside.
Look how tall our cherry tomatoes are!! (The better boys in the other bed aren't doing as well because they get less sun... that could be a problem!)
My other garden helper... in her jammies... don't judge, you know she's cute.
Alaythia was inside asleep while we watered. On the mornings when she sleeps in a little, we scramble outside to enjoy some shady time in the front yard until she wakes up. This happens a few times per week, and I so relish those times of getting my hands dirty and my feet wet with my big kids. :)
