I didn't think we would get any grapes until next year, but the Lord loves to send us little surprises. Here is our first cluster of baby grapes. This makes me happy. :)

6-24-09 Update on Bunnies

A note to all of you who are concerned about the baby bunnies. They are thriving on kitten replacement milk. They are very loved and doing well. I'll post more pics of them later on. :)

Jessica and Jakki went to the garden a little while ago to water. When they started to water one of the green bean beds, they heard these strange squeaks. When they looked in the center of the bed, there was a rabbit nest with 5 baby bunnies in it. :)

Here's the bunnies all dried off and in a box.

This baby bunny has it's little paws raised to the Lord. :) Needless to say, no more work got done in the garden today. :)

Here's the first DON'T. Do not plant broccoli when the weather is too hot! It will bolt like these did and go to seed. We will save seeds for next year.

I was still too weak from the horrible asthma attack yesterday, so Jessica took the kids to the garden and got some great close-ups. Here's the kids next to the potatoes.

I can taste potato soup already. :)

Cabbage is coming right along.

Won't be long til the green beans are blooming. Then the canning starts.

Oooh...little baby zuchinni squash.

Great close-up of some tomatoes.

I'm keeping my eye on this one. It will probably ripen first. :) Looks like we may have some small tomato worms in the foliage. They will get HUGE so will pay the kids to pick them off each day. :) :) I refuse to touch those horrible tomato worms. ESPECIALLY when they get big. :)

Just found this pic of one of the horrible beasts.. YUK!!!!

Lots of little tomatoes coming right along. Plan on canning tons along with peppers and onions.

The tomato pics are from different beds and are all doing very well.

Onions are doing very well.

Here's a really nice close-up of the blackberry cluster.

Rhubarb is very pretty.

Sweet Potatoes have started to grow now. Took them awhile to come out of shock.

This is one of the newest carrot beds. Just starting to come up.

I am sooo ready for some fresh lettuce. It will grow fast now.

Last, but not least, the 20,000 Carrot bed. Must start thinning them. :)

Well, folks, no cardboad mulching today. My hernia is really acting up so will try again tomorrow. Jessica built a small bed and planted some flowers that I took from my apartment. Marigolds, Petunias, and Rose Moss. It looks like it will rain any second so we are in a bit of a hurry as my mobility scooter can't get wet and it's a couple of miles back to my apartment.

Green Beans are looking great.

More green beans.

Grape vine and cabbage plants in the background. The grape vines are where I want to use the cardboard mulch.

The blackberies are doing quite well. The have one little cluster of berries already.

Another shot of the blackberries.

I can't believe the potatoes! They look like could reach out and grab someone. :) I've never seen potatoes grow so much.

Sweet potatoes are starting to perk up now after the shock of being transplanted.

Jessica watering the red raspberries.

Everything is looking so good!

Watering some of the tomatoes.

The 20,000 carrot bed. :) :) They will really have to be thinned.

6-06-09 Busy Day

It's going to be a very busy day today. I'll have lots of new pics to post here tonight. We were able to get 10 dozen canning jars. We'll still need lots more. Want to get some cardboard boxes cut up and soaked in water to use for mulch in some of the garden beds. Many more things to get done as you will see in the pics tonight. :)

6-02-09 Hail Storm

God is Good!! We had a terrible thunder storm with huge hail last night. Jessica just called and said she checked the garden this morn and the only damage is a few onion plants got knocked over!! That's amazing. It was quite a storm!! :) :)

6-01-09 Rain-Mulching Beds

Looks like we will have rain off and on through Tuesday night. I will try to sneak in between showers and get the lawn clippings from Sunday, packed into some more garden beds. I don't mind working in the rain but my mobility scooter can't get wet.
