What a beautiful day to garden! It also happened to be the right timing to plant the rest of our garden. First though, we got to harvest our broccoli. Can't wait to eat it! Not a ton, but enough for a dinner side dish and hopefully we'll get some more out of the plants.
We planted 4
romas, 2
zucchini, 1 oregano, 1 basil, and 1, hopefully soon to be 2, bell peppers. I'm hoping to make and freeze a lot of pasta sauce this summer as we very much enjoyed it last summer and fall. Hopefully it will last a little longer this year. Our spinach, carrots, onions and strawberries are all thriving.
This year we let the kids plant their own little flower garden under two of our trees with their choice of
impatients. They enjoy having their own space and it's quite the improvement from the plain dirt that we had there last summer. Really wish it got enough sun to grow pumpkins, but oh well. We'll keep the trees.
I have a cousin who farms corn (if you read our blog, you might remember the corn picking post from last summer) and he also sells critter corn at local stores. Through another cousin of ours, who happens to be one of the workers on our
renovation (following me?), he passed along this DELUXE squirrel feeder and a bucket of corn. We have endless squirrels that climb along the top of our fence and now they have a place to snack. The kids are too excited to see them eat.
Nothing to speak of going on inside the kitchen, but we have word that we will get the rest of the cabinets at the end of next week, so hopefully next weekend we will be baking and just putting in finishing touches and backsplash!

Wow! Mark actually had to clean snow off his car last week, so needless to say, we haven't planted anything yet. We did get our first strawberries today, though...
