My little garden was in much need of attention after the crazy month we've had! Saturday afternoon was beautiful outside, and while the girls slept and David went to sign on a new car for us - I worked in the garden.Here is what I did:
* Weeded row of onions (top photo - next I need to thin them)
* Weeded row of spinach (next photo)
* Planted tomato and pepper starts outside (last photo) I did 1 row of peppers, 2 rows of Juliet Tomatoes, and 1 1/2 rows of Big Beef Tomatoes.
* Planted 1 row of green beans.
* Next row I got ready for green beans to go in this Saturday as I wanted to stagger them a bit.
* Planted 1 row cucumber.
* Planted 1/2 row zucchini
* Planted four 1/2 rows of corn - it said on the packet to plant in sections of four rows for best pollination.
* Prepared two 1/2 rows for later this week - not sure what I'll put there yet.
* Planted 1/2 row of Watermelon.
* Planted Emily's little playhouse: two rows of sunflower seeds with morning glory seeds in between. A friend told me that the sunflowers become the walls and the morning glories grow up and can be twisted across for a little roof - how cute is that? I'm giving it a try.

That's impressive. How long do your girls sleep? That's even more impressive.
Grace - isn't that the sweetest idea?! I loved it when I heard it too!
Julianne - Emily naps from about noon to 3pm and Rachel had only had a short nap that morning, so she napped from about 1:30-3pm. They got up just as I was finishing - but David was home to keep tabs on them until I was cleaned up!
Wow -- you got a lot planted! Isn't it fun to see the fruits of your labor sprouting up through the dirt??
I am looking forward to hearing how the sunflower/morning glory playhouse turns out!
Love, Mom
