garden

We have begun our first little garden. We're growing cucumbers, watermelons, tomatoes - beef ones and cherry ones, mint, and sunflowers.

Here you can see how tall our sunflowers grew!
Out of a whole packet of seeds five bloomed! One for each of us in our family.
I found a butterfly on this sunflower and it came back day after day!
Here is a picture of our watermelon plant. The watermelons are now much bigger. There are probably five of them now. I will let you know how they taste. I will say that our big beefy tomatoes have been so juicy! It is my first time eating tomatoes that I've grown myself and they are so delicious. I have been slicing them up and putting them in our sandwiches. Yum! It's hard to go back to buying those orange tomatoes at the market.
