We are Weeding and Watching.

Hey Everybody! It has been so neat to see everyone's gardens and veggies growing. 

Ok.  Quick edit now that I have read the link details.. 


So what are we doing. We are weeding.  Watching our green beans grow and leaf lettuce.  Our Grape Vines and Apple Trees are slowing growing. I don't think we will get any harvest for a couple of years on the apple trees. The grapes will have more flavor each year as they cross pollinate.  We also just planted potatoes. We do very well with them in our rocky soil.  

Our first meal from our garden will be...

What has Momma Learned?

The one thing I have learned about Leaf lettuce is you can only cut it once maybe twice.   It gets bitter and goes to seed. YUCK! Tastes horrible.  Lesson learned.  :-) 

Also never order plants from Direct Gardening, Waverly Garden or any place that says has an address of Bloomington, IL on there label... We just finished disputing with the company. They totally tried to take our money and run.. I am so thankful for our credit card working everything out!  

'Ok here is the Back Story of our Garden if you care to read on... 

 We have had tons of rain.. I am hoping everything doesn't get rotted.  I wanted to give you a  quick look into our set up.

We used pyramid gardens this year. They are really nice. Pretty easy to set up.  They come with a hose attachment.

We just plug the hose up and a sprinkler sits on the top of the garden and waters the whole thing.  Its great!

 It works so well we haven't had to turn on the hose once. Hahaa... All this crazy rain has been watering the garden for us.  The girls truly pitch in and help Daddy do the hard work.

The wee little one and I just sit and watch.  Is that wrong?
