Spring Garden Growth: Week 3

March 31, 2011 Lana

The garden is growing and looking great!  So are the weeds!

I detest weeds!

But, they are there and the guy who mows my grass decided to take a vacation.

So don’t look at the grass or the weeds.  That is a direct order!



Are you good at taking direct orders?  Me either!  

So, LOOK at the weeds!  That is a direct order!

Ready for a walk in the garden?
Okay, Let’s Go….

We have learned so much by planting this garden!
One of my fave resources is a little book called
 Green Thumbs: A Kid’s Activity Guide to Indoor and Outdoor Gardening (A Kid’s Guide series)
It just has made gardening more fun for the kids!  I bought the book from Amazon after checking it out from the library.  It is one of those books, I will be saving for my grandchildren.
To see what else we have done – go see our other garden posts!
Blessings to you!  You are loved!

    I said when I moved out of Colorado (where it was too dry to garden) that I would start one. Here I am, starting year two in Washington state, garden free. 🙁 Maybe I can start a test garden, to see of my dog will leave it alone.

    Wow! Everything looks like it’s growing great already! We also square foot garden, but we’re waiting for about 2 feet of snow to melt off the box! 😉 Stopping by from HSV Garden Challenge!

    If I had a garden this year I would carry a chair out there and sit and stare at it. I would let the kids play out there and every once in a while I would say, “Everyone come here and look at what we’re growing.” We’d all oooh and aaah over the garden then they’d go back to play until the mood hit me again. This year I will have to be satisfied with pictures of your garden. Oooh. Aaah. Lisa~

    LOVE LOVE LOVE – looks great! I hate weeds too – spend way too much time working on back aches tending to them. Of course – it’s great “punishment” for disobedient 8yr old boys! ;p

    Thanks for sharing! Next month’s link up is April 28th 10am EST

    I’m envious of your warmth, still too cold here for most plants. The trees have just started budding out. Pomegranate?! That is so cool!

    Adding a nice layer of mulch helps keep the weeds away.
