This week in the garden

This was a rough week.  We had a little bit of a storm.  I was not able to let the boys go jump in the puddles and play in the rain like I normally would because of the wind and lightning.  I was able to open the entire house and let the breeze rain come in!  But that meant that the baby was at the front door banging on it to go out and play.

But the garden also was effected.  Half of the corn was blown over!  One is not going to make it but the others I used tape and tied it to the lattice that hubby put up on the wall to give it some support.

Start of May in the Garden

It is now May and the heat is coming  here.  But the garden is doing amazing.  In my time doing this I have learned that you must water it BY HAND TWICE a day.  I soak the ground so that there is standing water when I am done.  It gradually sinks down but this way I know that it is getting deep enough.  As you will see the garden is doing great!  In fact the watermelons have finally decided to make an appearance!

 My husband has also started a new addition to the yard~  It is a MONSTER!  He is custom building a tree fort (or the best we can do with our young trees) and swing set for the boys.  Here it is (work in progress)
