A Veggie Walk

A basket full of goodness.

Murph's tomato tree tomato.

Drying out some beans for preschool.

This baffles me!

Another one of Murph's tomatoes!

Jase and I have an afternoon routine. When the little boys and Bailey go down for a nap we come out and check the garden.

I was just hanging around getting ripe and getting ready for picking. 

Fancy little gourd.

Growing Pretty Corn

 

We are starting to harvest pretty corn. I love it. Some will be decorations and some will be used in the sensory table to help our little muscles grow stronger.

This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Corn sprouting on the cob.

Weeding Down To The Dirt

The yahoo and I have been weeding all the flower beds in the backyard.  Someday I dream of flowerbeds full of pine fines and beautiful flowers.

Nothing But Winter Squash

Growing upside-down

Does anybody have a guess?

Maybe a gourd.  Or maybe an acorn squash?

These things are just crazy!

Emmy And The Kids Help Out

 

They had to have one of Emmy's all-time favorite popsicles from when she was a kid.

We discussed and researched our next photo challenge.

Then Fiona and I got busy working in the garden,

Gardening attire is a swimsuit under your beach towel and my sleeves.

She gets right down there in the middle of everything.

She even climbs into the beds.

Saf enjoying herself.

Ernie is either eating a popsicle or a cucumber.

And then there is just relaxing and blowing bubbles.

Or a sweet cold treat.

Working on those pesky dead leaves on the cucumbers.  They drive me crazy.

She is staring at that huge cucumber.

She loves the basil also.

More cucumbers!

Don't mess with her when she is working.

I wonder how many she ate?

.

She squealed when she saw this one.
