kinderGARDEN Thursday: week 9

This week our assignment was to send our kids out to the garden to snap photos. Well, except for the 1st 2 photos they are all Matthew's. The first 2 I took because we had our first harvest. Other then that, nothing much has changed in our garden. Things are still growing along, but not producing much yet!


Laying them out carefully for photographing.

Very proud of his tomatoes, that he still thinks are yucky. We have over 12 tomatoes growing. Maybe the lettuce and tomatoes are going to be ready to pick at the same time!

Very excited to call his Dad every few days to tell him how huge Daddy's salsa peppers are getting.

Beautiful butterfly visiting each and every radish bloom and his sunflowers. They were 37 1/2" last week (forgot to mention that.) This week they are 53 1/2". They grow fast!

Rosebush outside the garden.

Very closeup coneflower. Hope you enjoyed Matthew's tour. (He wasn't as into it week as last. He was more interested in dogs and yard and things not related to the garden. Oh well!)

Did Matthew help you harvest the rats tail radishes? It looks like your garden is doing quite well.

Your peppers are amazing! We're just starting to get our blossoms on our peppers.

Tell Matthew I like the close-up coneflower picture. They're my favorites. :)

He did a great job! I think there's just something about a flower that makes you want to get right up close and capture all that beauty as close as you can :)

I cannot wait to see peppers like that in my garden! And nice photos, Matthew!

Cathryn said...

What kind of beans are those?
My favorite photo is the coneflower! It is so typical a shot for a little guy and it made me smile!

The sunflowers are taller than he is! That makes for a fun picture.
