Another garden post

So we just got home from St George today, and I would be lying if I said I didn't give my garden a thought while I was there. I have been fighting the squash bugs quite a bit and I was afraid that when I got home all of my beautiful plants would be shriveled and dead.

We did end up having a happy ending though! Yay for good spray and blessed eyes to see where the eggs have been laid. When I got home not only did the plants look great, they have grown just in the few days I have been gone!

When I was younger I never thought I would ever even think about planting a garden, and didn't understand the joy Mom & Dad seemed to get from doing so. Now that I am older and have planted my own garden for several years I can totally see why they gained such joy and fulfillment from planting and tending a garden! Thanks Dad & Mom for showing me that a garden can be so much more than just a lot of work! You taught me this and so much more!

I was getting quite dark when I took these pictures but it lets you see just how big the tomato plants are getting.

Garden update

So just a quick update on our garden.

Everything is coming along nicely. So far we have had peas, beans, peppers and zucchini and yellow squash. The corn is taking it's darn sweet time, but it is growing too.

I sprayed for squash bugs today, I hate those sneaky like things! They make me crazy! Last year I fought tham all season, and they did end up getting two of my plants. I am hoping to have better luck this year, I only found 3 of the little buggers today and I sprayed the heck out of the plants, so I hope I have the upper hand. Anyway, this picture is from last week and already this week things are bigger, but I will take more pictures next week and maybe thnigs will have doubled in size! We can only hope! I love the garden! It helps keep me calm.
