A Visit to the Garden

We just visited the garden two days ago. It absolutley blows my mind how much has changed in just two days. Avery and family went out of town for the holiday weekend so Jenn and I stopped by to water it today...

and guess what?!?!?!?

We have GREEN BEAN PLANTS!! Finally!


An update on the rest of the plants:
The Cucumbers have flowers!:

Corn:

Radishes:

Carrots:

SweetPeas:

Lopes:

Pumpkins...kinda worried about them:

And cause I thought they looked very good today...Marigolds:

Grow Garden Grow!!!

Oh, and our robins...they left the nest. We missed it. :( But some Googling showed us that robins lay more than one set of eggs each season...so we will wait for the next set.

Weeding and Replanting

Those radishes are some easy things to grow. Or maybe Chris just used his Mennonite heritage when he planted them. Over the last few days the one row of corn that Avery and I planted have really grown. And the carrots!! Two rows of them are really taking shape!! Go Lyz!

Over the last week we have spent some time here and there weeding. Or degrassing would probably be the better description. Lyz is turning 30 on June 6th and we are planning a big party at their house to celebrate. We want the garden to look very good when people come visit it. We want to be impressive. As of right now, only those radishes are impressive!!

So Jenn and I went over today to finish degrassing and to replant the things that aren't growing. We filled in the two rows of corn that just don't seem to be sprouting. We planted two new rows of green beans since they didn't come up at all. We had 6 sweet pea plants that grew, so we filled in there. And we filled in the carrot rows where there were big gaps.

I must say that the garden looks quite beautiful!! See:

You can see the plentiful radishes on the left...next the carrots, and a few of the pea plants. In the back is the corn.

Oh...and have I shown you the triplets?

HATCHED

This afternoon my phone rang and when I said hello the person on the other end of the phone was talking so fast, so high pitched, so excited that I could barely understand a word of it.

After listening twice I realized that Avery was telling me that two of her eggs hatched!!!



The two sweet little birdies are kinda ugly to be quite honest.

Lyz said that when they walked out to get the mail Avery asked to see into the nest. Lyz said okay and then realized as she looked up that there was a little tiny beak peeking over the edge of the nest. She ran into the house to get a chair to stand on so that her and Avery could both look in together. The two hatched birdies streched their little necks up trying begging to be fed. After realizing that they weren't getting fed they put their heads back down all tired and exhausted looking. Lyz also said there is a hole in the third egg, so we think that it will be hatching soon!

Stayed tuned for some more gardening. Lyz weeded quite a bit today. Thank you Lyz!!
