How does the garden grow?

It's been more than a month since I last posted about the seeds we're growing for the garden. The seeds have continued their growth in my kitchen, so it's high time I get them out into the backyard where they belong. My two youngest DD's decided to help me. My oldest DD took the pictures.

This is the only shot I have of the third raised garden where we planted the yellow squash, zucchini, spaghetti squash, cilantro and basil. This picture was taken immediately after planting - those squash were bursting out of their containers.

Youngest DD liked digging in the dirt a bit, but she really wasn't any help at all.


The dog wasn't of any help either. She spent the time exploring the wood pile for bunnies. She doesn't quite get the concept of hunting bunnies, she just wants to play with them.


Tomatoes are planted in the back row and we're digging the holes for the pepper plants here. (I buy tomato plants from the local gardening store. I've never tried growing them from seed.) And that's pretty much it. I have some lettuce seeds that I want to toss in the ground yet, but it's time to be making dinner.
