Growings on.....

Summer's so on! We "tried" swimming yesterday....brrrr the water's still too cold for me, the kids had a blast, do they even feel cold, I wonder? Things are really taking off in the garden. We had our first lettuce and radishes are almost ready! Some of the tomatoes are starting to flower too. It's so exciting to watch things grow! Here's some pictures...the first are about 2 weeks after planting the second are today. I've added grass clippings once and so far the weeds are nill! There were a few that popped up in the lettuce when it first started...but once the lettuce got tall enough I put grass clipping all around them and now the weeds are gone! Oh and I DID have some failure....my herbs didn't sprout. The seeds came free and were marked last season...mint sage and parsley didn't grow ( I don't know if the seed was bad....but the radish seed and lettuce were fine (also last season...) It's ok as sometimes these things just happen.




I










can't find a before of the cucumber...but he's growing great!













Thanks for stopping by to watch my garden grow with me!

You have some awesome frugal links. Many I am going to checkout. I love frugal links - Thanks for posting them. PS I love your Garden. I live in a city suburb- Would love someday to move out further in the country and have more room/yard for a garden like that. Thanks again you have a very nice and informative site.
