Annabelle noticed the corn was taller than she was! After weeks of worry that it would all die, I'm cautiously optimistic. Annabelle and I have had a lot of fun this summer digging around in the garden. It's been an adventure. Some things have grown and some have not. It's really a game of trail and error, growing things from a seed. We found out that sunflowers are IMPOSSIBLE in our garden due to the pesty squirrels! We tried to sprout them in a pot and then transfer them... Nothing seemed to work. They would always come and did them up.
We planted everything a lot later than most because are garden needed a lot of TLC before we could even think about putting a seed in the ground. Nick tilled it up and I spent lots of time weeding (in between the rainy spring days we had.) Finally, in June we got our seeds in the ground. We are hoping for a harvest in September. We will see!
It's a good thing the sunflowers didn't take off because our pumpkin plant is taking over!! Mimzey got AB a little kit for planting a pumpkin seed. It came with a tiny little pot and two pumpkin seeds. We planted it late February and put it in the window. It sprouted and started to grow. We moved it into a larger pot and set it on the front porch once the fear of frost was over and then in June we planted it in our garden! Each step made, AB was there helping. I know she'll enjoy seeing a pumpkin grow! Keep your fingers crossed!!!
