Last Garden shot.....

We are headed to Camp for 2 weeks so - I thought this to be the best time to do a check in with our garden.

Major changes... My hubby put a deer fence up! (None too soon as our next door neighbor had all of her blooming pea plants - which were about 4 ft tall - eaten to 2 ft tall!)  Besides someone was eating my blueberry bushes flowers and baby berries. :(

My son is 5 - he's about 4 and a half ft tall. So the fence must be 5 ft or so...

Lots of new growth - I think we will harvest the radishes when we get back. :D
And the TOMATOES!!

We have baby flowrs and a tiny (bud) of a tomato! So we should have some lovely tomatoes soon... Yum!

The boys' pumpkin is looking like it wants to blossom already... yay!

My climbing peas are still climbing...

The potted pepper and eggplant are growing... I may have to replant these somewhere.

Our 'experimental' upside down tomato has begun to turn... we'll see where and how this does and goes.

So far the deer and critters (bunnies and such) have not found this bush... we may get some buds and berries from here. And yes that is 2 Tomato plants there, they are companion plants. :D

Vandals!! I think it was Deer. They broke my only stem (with flowers!!) on our raspberry 'bush'. Sad. Thankfully it's got a new shoot that looks promising.

Our grape 'stick' is not changed at all yet.... Hmm. May need to seek advice on this one.

I may need to plant these in the garden... They are growing like mad! They love summer. ;)

So - these are my plants... I need advice so don't forget to pop in and give your 2 cts worth of gardening advice. I'm proud of the fact I've not killed all of them yet. :D

Love to hear what you say....

Updated garden pics....

Finally - Garden Pictures!

This is the Garden as of 5/20/10. We transplanted all the tomatoes and the 2 pumpkin. 

This is the famed Rhubarb!! I have 3 tiny broccoli grown near it...

The Bluberry Bushes!                                                                   

The pot plants... I'm not sure what's happening to these... ideas are welcome!!

Potted Blueberry bush - with 2 tomato plants

The climbing peas... my son brought 1 home from school... I think it's sweet peas, the other is mine. (Yes his is taller)

My mother's day flowers!

Our baby Raspberry bush... it has about 10 flowers on it!

Gardens...

Well, I've transplanted the little seedlings into our prepared veggie patch and am praying they (the plants) grow and thrive! We've planted: tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, pumpkins, peas. And as seeds: lettuces, radishes, beets, carrots, broccoli, spinach, corn, marigolds, zucchini. And we have our 3 blueberry bushes re-planted and 1 raspberry and 1 grape vine. I am still hoping to get some asparagus - but will probably only get it next year.

So... watch this space for photos! And let us see your hard toils to make the food (or flowers) grow!

Journeyings as a Gardener...

Well, we've been cultivating seedlings for a while now... they are small and spindly. I am not sure sure this is how they are supposed to look... but we are trying!
My hubby built a 6x6 garden box (divided in 2 so really 2 3x6 boxes) and the adventure begins when the threat of frost is gone... at the end of May. So, I've planted broccoli - next to the already there rhubarb. we are going to try some kind of upside down tomatoes too... I must take some pics and get your feed back on this project. :D

It's Official...

I'm upset with my laptop... I drew the cutest turtle and the laptop overheated and I lost it all! ARGH! I sure wish I could have it fixed. I may have to go back to traditional art... (Scary thought!) :D

Till I get it up and going you can check out some of my artwork... not all that great as I'm still figuring out the size to make it for best quality. But here are my favs so far:

Free Hand Painted turtle

The Joy of the Lord

Freehand Speed Painting of Eagle

Neon Rose Painting

I'd love to know what you think... :D
