The Gardens

As summer comes to a close, we tried to squeeze in all the fun we could. We were invited to Meijer Gardens with some family members, so Bright and I excitedly joined in on the fun. My garden has been pretty successful this year, but going here makes anything you do in your garden look like a joke. My tomatoes aren't in yet, but tomatoes there were still coming in too. That made me feel a bit better, but as of a couple days ago my tomatoes still weren't even orange...just big and green. Oh well, I may be ripening a bunch of tomatoes inside my house. Enough about my lacking tomatoes...clearly not the focus of our trip. Meijer Gardens has a lot to see and do, and even special stuff for the little ones. We had a great time. Here are a couple pics from our day...

The Garden is Growing

We have a garden, and more importantly the plants are growing. Thanks to Jon, the garden boxes look really nice too. Animals haven't nibbled yet, and all of the plants seem to be thriving. So far, so good!

Almost a Garden

All of sudden it's garden planting weather. We hope to finish up and plant in the next week or so. All of our plants are looking good except the lettuce grew a little too fast and got tangled with the other plants. Lettuce will do just fine from seeds when we plant, so it's not really a failure at this point. I'm not going to stress about that one. We have some other seeds we're going to try in addition to these plants as well.
Hoping we can show a planted and good-lookin' garden real soon.
