I really like gardening. Yesterday, we added more plants to the garden and checked on how the ones planted earlier are doing. Here's the status report:
1. The tendrils on the pea plants have successfully curled around the lattice in the graden and are growing up nicely. The first pea blossom has appeared as well. I'm quite fascinated at the notion of tendrils and inquire about which plants have them and which do not at every opportunity.
2. Our onions (grown from seeds) are all coming up quickly. They're still pretty small. I wanted to pick a couple but Daddy suggested that we wait until they're a bit bigger.
3. Our grapvine is thriving. It's go lots of new growth. It still hasn't managed to climb its way onto the lattice set out for it yet.
4. We added a pumpkin plant to a dirt-filled area in the front yard. I'm hoping that we can grow our own Jack-O-Lanterns for Halloween.
5. In the back, we added pole beans (and an interesting pole for them to climb on) as well as fancy lettuce and cucumbers. We're already doing a fine job with the spinach we planted earlier, which is producing delightful leave for salads.
6. Our broccoli is getting very big. I can't wait for it to be ready.
7. All of our tomato plants have blossoms. Tomatoes are coming!

Your great-grandmother (Doody) would be very proud! She was quite a gardener too.
If it can find it, I'll scan a picture of your Daddy and your Uncle Dave with some green beans fresh-picked from the garden.
Love,
