Our Little Garden

We love having a house down here in Texas because we can do things like learn to plant a garden. We planted our seed about a week ago. We planted a little of everything to see what would survive and almost everything sprouted!!

Week 0

Week 1

Week 2 (Some of the bigger plants were moved outside.)

Joseph LOVED working in the yard after being trapped indoors studying so much. He created a small raised garden plot on Tuesday and we filled it in with dirt. Joseph has been like a little kid with these sprouts. Each morning, his favorite activity is to check on his seeds and to see if any new plants have sprouted.

We were surprised this morning, when we woke up to about a 1/2 an inch of snow on the ground! Lets hope that our plants survive to week 3.

We also picked up some other new additions to our yard. While visiting Aunt Martha in Arkansas, we picked up some Jonquils (a small daffodil type flower). They add some bright, cheery color to the front of our house. Mother Muhlestein also bought us two hydrangea plants to put in our backyard by the shed. I absolutely love hydrangeas. I have always dreamed of living in a house with big hydrangea bushes. I even had blue hydrangeas in my wedding bouquet. We luckily didn't plant them yet and they are safe in our glassed in front porch. I am working extremely hard not to kill them.
