so sadly last friday while i was at work and my 13 yr. old niece was babysitting my girls...our dog, molly, got a hold of mumbles and killed him and a hen...i am so heartbroken...mumbles was such a good rooster....luckily we do have a baby rooster and 2 more females....no other rooster is going to be like him...we will miss him terribly...
update on wilbur...we are getting rid of him....he will be going to a nice farm with a lady friend :) where he will be much happier...
here are some pics of my garden...
cherry tomatoes....
veggie garden with green onions, hot peppers, green peppers, tomatoes, asparagus, lemon cucumber, & butternut squash...
strawberry plants...15...and in the pot at the end is clilantro...
close up of one of the strawberries...yum, yum...can't keep the birds from eating them...tried hanging pie tins with no luck...any suggestions...
the garden is growing nicely!! Aug 12, 2007 | 4:57 PM PST

garden
, watering well after not being around on friday and most of saturday...we went to our county fair...my garden got no watering.... :( and it was not looking good today at all...the leaves were starting to turn up...so i got it all happy again with some water...and i took some new pics of my garden today...so check them out...
well after our nice little shower we just had it is now so stinking muggy here...and sticky...loved the rain though it came down so steady...the garden was loving it...i think my pumpkin that i just took a pic of yesterday is now twice the size...i can't believe how big it has gotten...i am so excited...i know my garden doesn't look like much, but i am so proud of it for being my first garden ever...even though the pumpkins are taking over everything..(as you can see in the pics)...my dh asked my what i want to do with the garden and i was like what do you mean...he just wanted to know if i wanted to make it bigger...i was like i dunno...i just suggested not planting as much next year...and to put the pumpkins off to the side by the fence...so we will have to see what happens...i guess i wouldn't mind go bigger, but that means more work involved and i was hoping to keep it the size that i have right now until i get a little bit more experienced with gardening...
we have been in kinda of a drought here lately...and yesterday we finally got some rain around here...and the weather is calling for more rain through friday...so yeah...i will have to go get a pic of my garden and show you all my huge pumpkin that is growing...i can't believe how big it has gotten...it seems everyday that it has gotten bigger...and my dog is too funny she will walk out to the garden and check everything out she stares at the pumpkin and barks at it....
well i guess besides not having to mow in the last 2 weeks nothing really to report here...except that i will be mowing this weekend and my grass is now turning back to its original color...GREEN....
i planted my garden last week and i have some jack o' lanterns, roma tomatoes, corn, & watermelons sprouting...yeah....my determination paid off...now i hope the rest of them start coming up...i did have a single strawberry on one of my plants yesterday...well i think a little bunny nibbled on it...now it is half gone!
