Our baby garden!

I know I haven't posted in a while but watching seedlings grow is really boring.

Finally, Lucas and I have planted all the seedlings! We have 3 boxes of vegetables and herbs.

In the back are cucumbers and jalepenos. In the middle are tomatoes, basil, and cilantro. In front (out of view) are green beans, snap peas, rosemary, and some stragglers from the other boxes.

The basil smells *delicious*

So far the beans and peas are the only plants that need something to climb up.

and boy do those snap peas just love climbing. If you look closely there you will see....

Beans! Look at all the beans. Lucas and I have already eaten the big ones. Look at how many pods are growing.

They are so good. We love eating something that we grew on our own deck!

We are also growing flowers. Penny has to actively restrain herself from digging in the planters and it is not easy!

These are figaros. They love blooming.

These are from a mix of flowers called "Penny Citrus Mix". We figured, how could we not plant them for our girl?

The marigolds are Lucas' favorite.
