TMT: Garden fruits of Summer

August 20th, 2009

Posted by Melitsa in Outdoor play, Seasonal play, Thought of the week

Yesterday the slideshow was of our garden.

We’ve been really excited to have tomatoes, zucchini and lettuce that GREW. Last year we had a terrible time so we’ve all been excited to see the fruits of summer.
The MO is loving tomatoes for the first time and the orange ones are so sweet.

It’s been well worth all the watering and feeding because the eating is sweet! When the boys play outdoors they are always trying to see which or what is ripe and ready to pick.

Please visit the others at Tell me Thursday to find out the story behind their Wordless Wednesday post.

That is so cool. I wish I had the space to grow my own vegetables but living in an apartment complex makes that nearly impossible.

How exciting! Our garden was a big big flop this year! I am hoping for something better next year!

I am so jealous. We planted our first garden this year and not much has happened. It was just kind of a test for this year, next year hopefully we will do better

There is hope.
We had a terrible time last year. Our soil here is bad, bad,bad. This year we modified and used pots with good or better soil and things changed. The boys are really excited to have to pick things and eat them. Good luck next year. Don’t give up.
