How does your garden grow ?

Jade — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:14:00 +0000

We are very new to gardening especially planting to eat. We decided to have a go at strawberries and we have been amazed at how easily they have grown in our garden and how many fruits we have !! It has been such a great experience for Flynn as well to not only watch them grow but also to help water/tend for them and then explaining to him when they are ready to be eaten.

We have planted a large fruit tree orchard in the backyard and hope next year to start seeing lots of fruits from these as well. And the vegie patch- well we want to get that done in the backyard as well- eventually, but for now we will just enjoy these sweet strawberries- lovingly grown by us. : )

In just one short week

As I said in an earlier post I was away last week at conference, when I got home I was surprised at how different my garden looked. All those bulbs I had planted over the last few months had just decided to pop open and reveal some stunning flowers !!

How awesome : )

Those Daisies

Remember my post a few weeks ago about that field behind our house? Well about 3 days after I took that photo all of the flowers started popping open!!! (I am so glad I snapped that shot when I did) Nothing says spring like a field full of these gorgeous things

Some Tulips (among other flowers)

Over the weekend we went to the Tulip park. It was a great day and we were so grateful to finally get there after a few weeks of having to postpone due to bad weather. I loved being able to snap some flower photos but Flynn was not so obliging to having his photo taken !!

We love having picnic with friends/family and this one was no exception, our only issue at the moment with going out in public is that Flynn is a bolter/runner. He thinks the funniest thing ever is to run away from us at full speed laughing hysterically and we have to chase after him to be able to catch him. We have tried everything to make him understand the consequences of running away but nothing seems to work. We are hoping it is a phase he will soon grow out of as it makes outings in public very difficult for us. And yet he looks so sweet and innocent….

A sea of yellow

Remember my post only a few days ago about the fact that spring is coming ? Well when we were driving home the other day from swimming I saw the most beautiful field of flowers and so we pulled the car over and got out so I could snap a few pictures, so pretty. Just another reminder that the seasons are quickly changing.

Spring is coming

I love it when all of the garden starts to let you know that spring is almost here!! It makes the winter days seem warmer as spring is suddenly in the air.

Every Autumn right behind my house they plant Everlasting daisy seedlings which sprout in the Spring this is what they look they at the moment, but any day now they will all burst open and be the most beautiful sea of pink. I just want a little newborn to be able to lay in the middle of all of the flowers and photograph ! Anyone want to lend me one : )

And some bulbs from the garden of course-

Some Daffodils

I had a go at planting bulbs this year. They were pretty easy it was just a matter of planting them at the right time. I was so excited to see this morning that they are all starting to pop up, how gorgeous are they!! (Scrap room photos coming soon!)
