Just a short update...

I will be away from tomorrow until Friday, July 9th. I know that the garden is in good hands with the Charnitz/Pugh family this week and the Sniadach family next week.

Please stop by and take an onion or two before they go to seed. They are very yummy and I've eaten them raw and sauteed and they are great either way! Also, eat up the lettuce. It is getting pretty big and I want it to continue to produce.

There are several green peppers growing and lots of tomatoes on their way to being ripe! :) I saw lots of blooms on the green beans. Oh, check out the cucumbers and squash, too. They are HUGE!

Have a great week! Take care and thanks to those who are helping out!!! Kim

ps. How could I forget... the pea plants are producing like crazy! I've been giving a lot of them to Mr. Dave's program for lunches!

Frustrated!

Well, I guess you are going to have to go by and visit the garden! For some reason this blog won't let me upload the pictures! The 2nd set of sunflower seeds are coming along... There is one huge green pepper, that I will wait until it turns red, per the directions. The peas are coming to their end, I believe. Get them while you can! I brought in a bunch of them and gave them to Mr. Dave's kiddos for their cookout.

Murphy/Darga week for weeding and watering! :) Thanks for all the hard work!

New surprises!

There are tons of peas, onions and lettuce to eat! Feel free to stop by and pick some to make a salad for yourself. Take a look at what I found in the garden this evening...




Do you see it? There is a tomato in there! :) It is so cute! It is kinda sad how very excited I get about such small things...
Yes, ladies and gentlemen!!! Our very first green pepper! Everyone would have laughed at me tonight when I discovered it! I jumped and yelled yippee really loud, I am sure the neighbors were looking at me thinking "what a strange lady"!


(Grajkowski and Bauer families are waterers and weeders this week.)

Here is a drawing of what the garden currently has planted...

I am amazed at how well the weeds, oh I mean PLANTS, are growing! I pulled some onions and peas and took them to the year end gathering for the teachers. Fr. Schmitt complemented the onions! :) I hope to get in and weed between rain showers this weekend. If you see me out there, honk and wave! :)
