This year we are participating in our town's community garden. We have a pretty large plot and we are growing 13 things this year (green onions, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, green peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, cantaloupe, beans, snap peas and broccoli). There were sunflowers planted there previously that I hope will come back up and I am also planting four different kinds of flowers that I can cut and enjoy at home. We have had smaller gardens in the past...but nothing like this. I am hoping that it goes really well and we have enough fresh veggies to pass onto our friends and family. Here are the "before" pictures...covered in weeds!
Yesterday in the 50 degree weather (brrr) we spent some time working on the garden. My Dad cleared away the last of the weeds, Sam threw dirt (sigh) and Luke made rows and paths and then planted carrots, onions and lettuce. We also put up a little fence to keep the animals out. The rest of the veggies are growing in our basement and will be planted after the last frost. Can't wait to see little seedlings start to come up!
Levi is 9 months old! He is very attached to mama these days and loves to give me kisses and blow "raspberries" on my cheek. Levi does not crawl but scoots all over the house on his bum and he has gotten very fast! He takes 1 morning nap and 1 afternoon nap but is still only sleeping through the night occasionally. He says dada all of the time and also yells and makes singing noises. Levi is a BIG eater (although his weight is dropping off so you wouldn't know it). He loves any kind of baby food, will eat rice when we eat Mexican and loves, loves puffs. He is also learning how to drink water from a cup. We are now going to start feeding him meat and giving him more soft finger foods to try. We just love our little blue-eyed boy!
