Gardening

Last Friday our family planted some veggies in our garden. We do not have a "green thumb" so we do not now how this is going to work out, but so far everything seems to be going fine. :) We planted three different kinds of tomatoes ( five tomato plants altogether) two pepper plants and two Kohlrabi Kossak. Kohlrabi Kossak are supposed to have the texture of a water chestnut, we had never even heard of them until recently so I cannot speak from experience. :) We also planted some Lambs Ear and transplanted quite a few hostas. Lambs Ear are really neat plants because the leaves feel almost identical to a lambs ear! We had a lot of fun planting everything and look forward to watching it all grow.

And in the back are Golden Boy Tomatoes.





















Our "baby" pepper plants.





















The Kohlrabi Kossak had to be planted
in pots so that the bunnies would not eat it.

Nice garden, Ortegas! We are still trying to get ours up and running! Sadly, ALL our seeds either died or didn't grow, so I guess we will have to do the plant route this year!

Can't wait to see you this Saturday!!!!! (Lord willing! Mom says that we have to always put that on the end, especially since it wasn't His will these past few time!!!)

I hope planting your plants works out better than the seeds did. :) We planted lettuce once using seeds and they did not grow either. Hopefully everything we planted this year will grow.

We too, can hardly wait to see y'all this Saturday, Lord willing!!! My Mama always encourages us to use Lord willing as well :)

I am glad to see your garden is growing well. May you enjoy abundant fruits of your labor.

The seeds your family helped me plant have sprouted and are beginning to grow. It brings a smile to my face when I think of our fun afternoon together.
