We finally have gotten all the pre-sprouted seeds into the garden. Hot and sweaty work but it's done. Now it's time to watch for weeds and sprouts popping up through the ground. The Mittlieder garden was admittedly easier to plant and a lot more fun. The hardest part of our traditional organic garden in the front is the fact we had to plant around our tomatoes, cucumbers and Claire's mini gardens.

Her sunflowers opened up this morning and look gorgeous topping off the 8 foot plants with bright yellow blooms. She should have corn ready to pick and eat sometime next week. She can't wait to harvest and cook her corn for us for dinner.

We have been enjoying the refridgerator pickles she has made from her cucumbers. And since reviving our tomato plants we have tomatoes coming out our ears. We are looking forward to a bountiful fall harvest. As things stand right now, we will be staying on our little half acre homestead for a while longer. However, we are making plans to have a lot of fun and expand what we can.  :)

Well, time to finish getting school clothes ready for Claire and dress orders and quilts to do. I will post more later.
