Gardening 2013

Continuing on to catching up to my blog, here's what happened this spring. It was time to start the garden again!

So this year it's: Tomatoes, corn and melons.

Sofia has been involved since she was a year old. Raquel just likes to be where Daddy is even though she doesn't like gardening much like Sofia.

From the patio, we move towards the front yard.

Sofia was all into this! Raquel didn't like the dirt too much.

 But she still gave it a try.

 High 5! Raquel survived!

Now, Sofia was really concentrated and made sure every little plant was planted just right.

She was focused!

And here she is again, watering.

Sofia, the water expert!

So, this year besides the picture below, we have only had tomatoes. I'm not complaining.

And speaking about beginnings, Raquel started her gardening training last weekend. At first, she was very hesitant but warmed up and I had to pulled her out it because it was time for dinner but nevertheless, it seemed Raquel really enjoyed it.

Sofia was excited that she got to garden again! She was asking for her own gardening tools!

Gardening 2010

John waited until a warm day this March to start planting our vegetables for the summer!

Here's Sofia, (John's apprentice) learning the job of gardening. She will be an apprentice up until she learns to stop digging where the seeds have already been planted.

The next day was a little colder so in order to water the garden, we suit up Sofia in her rain boots.

The Garden bares its first crop!

The first crop is here and first we have radish and cilantro! Too bad John and I don't like radishe's but my mom loves them so she's very happy. We are making mexican tacos tomorrow for dinner and eating our home grown cilantro. Yummy!

John's garden is really growing pretty good. I can't wait for the cantaloupes, I remember one year we had so many we were given them away.

Here's the Radish. All ready to be eaten by mom only.

The radishe's were planted end of February. John says Radishes are very good to teach children how to garden because they grow pretty fast.

She was impressed...with the mud.

Right behind John is our apple tree. It was bigger than this but we had a powerful storm about 5 years ago right after we moved in to our house and the tree was blown almost to the root. Well, John, The Green Thumb Master, was not going to let it just die away and look it now, it has taken awhile to grow back but we had green apples last year and they were not bad at all!
