Things are growing!

Lots going on with the garden these past few weeks.  Lots going on in life these past few weeks actually.  I am HUGE with child (36 weeks today) and we have the house ready to start on the baby room.  Having two weekends of rummages cleared out a good amount of extra furnature/junk that we no longer have any use for.  Better late than never, right?
Aaron and the kiddos planting broccoli!

Cicely and our first beautiful raddish!!

1/2 of the garden (tomato, pepper, raddish, onions and spinach)


Cherry Trees In Bloom

Anyway, back to the garden.  In addition to our cherry trees blooming in the front yard, all of the veggie rows have been planted now (tomato, pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, raddish, potato, onion, lettuce, and spinach) and we have been eating raddishes for weeks.  We have also planted lavender, thyme, basil, onions, peppers, and aloe in pots on the patio.  I am hoping the weather wont confuse our growth though.  It was in the high 80s for a good week and now we are back to...60!!  Uncool, but perhaps necessary. Its all par for the course I guess and we are having fun getting our hands dirty in the process.  Its great to document in a formal way.  We have already begun to reflect back to see when we have done some things and are comparing the process to last years plantings (which I documented sparingly in a notebook).
