So, our garden is IN. :)

I am looking at this as my 'test' garden - there are a lot of things I planted, and I have no clue how they'll turn out/if they'll survive. So it will be fun to watch and care for.

Here is the breakdown.

Behind the lilacs, we planted white and orange pumpkin seeds, as well as a watermelon plant.
To the left of the tomatoes (in the 'walls of water') we planted: cucumber, italian parsley, peppers, aneheim pepper, basil, spinach, cilantro, & beans.

To the right of the tomatoes, we planted 2 types of zucchini, yellow squash, honeydew & ambrosia mellon (?) -never had it before.

The squash and poppies.

Looking both ways...

I love watching the poppies shed & bloom.

Also-
While I was sick in bed, I let the older boys make little treasures w/ these things. (See Bodie's mostly white fish on the right?) NOT such a great idea. Just as I was headed off to slumber-land, Brock comes in and informs me he shoved one up his nose and it's 'stuck'...We had just lost power due to lightning, so I took him near a window...and sure enough there was a little bead lodged up there.

So off we went to the firestation so Dad could retrieve it and be the hero. (I wanted no responsibility in further shoving that thing up into his sinus cavity)

Dad got it! And Brock got to keep the little flashlight. Everyone happy. Mom still needing to take a nap. :)

But now I am finally feeling WELL. Although Jess and the boys (minus Wyatt) left to go fishing on THIS TRIP w/ out me...sad to miss it, but much to get done around here too. And Mr. Wyatt gets to have Nana and Papa ALL TO HIMSELF for the next two days. He is going to be in heaven.

Forgot about the fishing trip - your being sick, having to make changes. Sounds like you will get a well needed break, though. Wish we could be next door to help out more often. Get better. Your garden project is wonderful. I'm excited to see how it turns out as you post its progress on your blog. Love you.

Go Sara! I hope to be a gardener someday. Your garden looks fantastic and delicious!! Love the poppies too. Glad Brock can breathe freely thru his nose again. Silly boys!

I love your garden, don't you think gardens are just magical, I want one!!
That bead was so small, it had to be pretty far up there to be stuck, yikes! I hope you continue to feel better.
