Garden Update!

The garden is growing!  It is so exciting to see the plants growing!  We have had our share of problems though!  I can name tons of new insects that are loving our plants!  I may become an insect expert!  We are doing our best to control them organically.  Now that the plants are getting bigger it seems to be working.  Also the greenhouse is doing good but it gets hot in there!  Troye has plans to do a few things to help regulate the temperature but we just haven't had time to get it all done.  Hopefully soon!  We have also realized that our soil is not great!  It is ok for some plants but it is very sandy and it lacks nitrogen so we are working on fixing that problem.  Here is a list of what we have growing:  carrots, peas, beans, lettuce, broccoli, tomatos, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, spinach, corn, pumpkin, watermelon, potatos, bell pepers, jalapenos, beets, and probably a few others that have slipped my mind!  If everything produces we will have lots of veggies! So far we have had fresh peas, spinach, lettuce and basil from the garden! It is so cool to go pick the fresh lettuce for a salad!  So excited to have more!



Peas!  We picked a few and they were great!


Squash is growing!

  2. Garden is looking good! Better than ours, which is still empty! LOL! Glad you have already got to harvest and eat some of it! Boys will learn and enjoy even if they don't eat it all. Love you!
