Garden of Eden - Week 7

The yard/gardens are all looking great. We had rain and hail on Friday, but no real damage occured, and then we had more rain on Saturday which soaked everything really well.

This week we picked a few more strawberries and even a jalepeno. Almost all of the tomatoe plants have either tomatoes or blooms on them. The green beans have even begun to bloom and we expect to have green bean in a few weeks.

Last we Phoenix and I started new okra and new eggplant seedlings using Jiffy pellets. Hopefully we can get them in the ground here in the next few weeks. Today we are going to start some strawberry seeds off from scratch to replant in the strawberry patch. It looks as though the strawberries I planted over a month ago are not going to grow.


The fruit trees are all doing well. The peach tree in the front yard is down to two peaches and the peach tree on the side of the house has about six peaches and some of them are starting to show some red in them. If the birds and kids don't get to them first we may have a peach or two to eat. The pears are not doing as well but the pear tree in the back yard still has two very small pears on it.

Good job on the garden guys. I know it's a lot of work but the fruits of your labors will be worth it plus look what you are teaching your boys. Keep up the good work!
