A Week in Garden Photos – May 15th– May 21

Sunny skies are here again! After the third sunny day in a row I stopped counting, but let me tell you Bob, a girl could sure get used to SUNSHINE in May. πŸ˜‰ After a looooong and wet winter here in the Pacific Northwest I think we’ve finally turned a corner. Fingers crossed the weather holds and the tomato plants start growing like mad.

The Girl has taken over mowing for this year {a job previously held by Monkey Boy} and let’s just say she hasn’t quite gotten the hang of the weed eater {trimmer} yet. Her solution? Use scissors around the garden boxes. Which I think is pretty stinkin’ hilarious.

In other news… we found a free basket poking out of a dumpster and promptly rescued it. Which then made us unable to stop repeating “Awww… Who would throw away a perfectly good friend?” for the next 2 hours.

The fava beans are getting pretty tall…and most plants have thumbnail sized buds growing off the stalks… which can only mean one thing: bean pods are not far behind. πŸ™‚

The potato plants have broken through the soil as well as a few sunflowers and carrots.

Lucy and I harvested our first radish from the garden last night and are patiently waiting for the cucumber, pumpkins and zucchini to pop up out of the dirt {Lucy LOVES zucchini!}.

Life. It’s pretty rad right now… πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

Have a WONDERFUL week.

    My little dog, Ellie, has discovered my strawberry bed. She ate all the berries, even the white ones! How do you keep Lucy from eating up your berries?
