A couple months back Savannah's papaw and grandma helped her get a spring garden planted. Savannah had been asking for a long time to plant her own garden… it has been her favorite part of visiting the farm since she was little bitty, so it's only natural that she would eventually want one of her own (on a much smaller scale, of course). We started small this spring and so far it has gone really well. Savannah has done a lot better than I thought she was going to do… she waters them, checks them for bugs, sprays them with our homemade bug spray, rolls them from sun to shade… she is quite the nurturing little gardener.
From left to right: 1st container, squash and a pepper plant. 2nd container, cucumber and two pepper plants. 3rd container, several tomato plants.
We will eventually be up to our eyeballs in tomatoes. There are little green ones everywhere.
A cucumber!!!! Her first fully matured and ready to be picked and eaten veggie.
She was so excited to pick her first very own vegetable. She has this cucumber chilling in the fridge at the moment. She said that she will be cutting it up and eating it for a snack after school tomorrow.
A few of the peppers we have growing. I am excited to try these.
Sissy's little assistant. Always wants to be doing what Savannah is doing.
