Growing...Growing...Gone!

We are growing all kinds of stuff around our house.  Olivia is in charge of flowers and she has been doing a great job.


This is her "flower garden".  It sits near our front door.  Olivia picked out the flowers at the nursery and planted them in these pots.  One of the pots she even painted.  See her name?  She is very careful to pick off dead blooms and to water them every morning when she gets up.

She worked very hard painting this pot.

She is also growing things on the deck.

She didn't mind at all that I was posting about her flowers!

We are growing some strawberries and green peppers and tomatoes too.  We've already eaten some tomatoes and green peppers and they are really good.

Ethan and Nic have a small garden where they are growing banana peppers and jalapeno peppers.  Ethan and Nic and Eli and I are also in the process of putting in a bigger garden.  Our plans are for cucumbers, beans, more tomatoes, onions, lettuce, herbs and anything else we can get our hands on.  We are a little late getting it in but Dad was testing the soil and trying to get it ready for us to plant.

I hope in the coming months to be posting pictures of our harvest~!
