No, it has nothing to do with qouting the bible. Not in that sense, anyway.

We had the kids picked a few red roma tomatoes today:


I grilled most of them for dinner tonight. Yummy!

We worked in the garden a bit more today. Just weeding, tying up tomato plants' stems so they are off the ground. It looks like there will be a lot of tomatoes ripening soon. We have a decent size cucumber growing right now. I'll pick it in a couple of days. Sarah has two cucumbers growing on her plant. She's stoked about it.

These pictures were taken this afternoon.

Our garden is doing well. Things are growing. The cucumbers are already flowering. We have several tomato plants already bearing fruits. So do the bell pepper plants.










I love my lilies!

We are almost done with the garden. Husband dug the trenches for the potatoes today. If it's not flooded by the rain tomorrow, we'll finish it up.



We're getting another roll of the isle runner for another three isles. It's working out great so far. It lets water gets to the ground, but stops the weed and grass from coming through. Less weeding!

Speaking of weeding, I found a natural solution to kill weed. I don't like using Roundup because of the chemical getting too close to the veggies. This natural solution involves lots of lemon juice and vinegar. I am going to make a batch one of these days and start attacking the weeds.

Once the potatoes are in the ground, we can sit back and enjoy watching the plants growing.

We've started on the main garden patch. We planted 5 rows on the southern half of the patch.

We have 1 row of 4 grape tomatoes, 1 row of 6 roma tomatoes plants, 1 row of 4 celebrity tomatoes. We planted 1 each of green, red and yellow bell peppers at the end of grape and celebrity tomatoes rows. The goal is to make a lot of spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to can. The grape tomatoes freeze well so they can go in the freezer.

We have 1 row of dutch cabbage (4 plants), a row of brussel sprouts (4 plants) with 2 classic eggplants seedling at the end of the row.

The other half of the patch will have corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, red onion, spaghetti squash, cucumbers, zucchinis and bean bush.

Other than that, the kids and I were busy cutting down the tulips from the front bed and planted several different flowers there. We also finished transplanting the herbs in pots.
