growing!
That good old midwestern humidity has really helped my garden thrive! This past week, I planted some more seeds in my plots and found they had germinated after 3 days! How satisfying and exciting!
We had a family dinner on Tuesday night and I was totally proud to pick most of our salad fresh out of the garden. Just to imagine that less than 3 weeks ago I planted tiny seeds in my newly built garden plots. The kids are really thrilled to see our garden’s progress and I’ll even find them picking lettuce and munching on the tender leaves.

Last week I felt that my plants and seedlings were mature enough to spread mulch. Si and I had great fun spreading out “cocoa shell” mulch and the fragrance was wonderful! I felt like I was in a chocolate factory! In the process, we discovered a baby rabbit- I think having my vegetables in a raised plot helps with rabbit nibbling.

Since I am posting about growth, I had to share this shot of my nieces and nephews on my side of the family. My sister was here for a short night- on her way to Washington State and I was so glad to have orchestrated this shot. Jane wasn’t digging it, but we understand. A long day for a 2.5 year old- she still is so cute! ANYWAY, for those of you who KNOW my family personally, can you believe how they have grown? Oh my!
I’ve been in an extreme funk as of late-
juggling summer fun+kids activities+no time to sew= funk
I’m hoping to change that soon. Thanks for bearing with me and reading my rambling posts. Also, I love your comments and STINK at replying. Please know I totally love and thrive hearing from ALL of you! I do- I really, really do!
