Father's Day Weekend

Well our original plans were to go camping, but when we checked the weather to finalize (it was a bit of a spur of the moment plan) it showed nothing but storms all weekend.  So we decided to instead stay home and spend time together.  Of course, the rain didn't come, but we did get work done in the garden!




Left section of the garden.  You can see the green beans, cucumbers, some tomatoes, cilantro, rosemary , potatoes, and dill here


Middle section of the garden.  You can see the dill, basil, potatoes, tomatoes, green bell peppers, onions, and honey dew melon plants here.


Right section of the garden.  You can see the zucchini, bell peppers, onions, garlic, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, and lettuce plants here.

I think the best news of all we found while working in the garden was this!

The potato plants are starting to bud!  Flowers means no more burying them all!

My photobombed cilantro picture :)  Isn't it growing well!
All in all it was a great weekend.  We went to Howell, Mi and the outlet mall there Saturday to find shoes/clothes for my husband.  It was a nice day (once it stopped being humid and I changed from a dress into some pants) and we had Olive garden for dinner.  Sunday we played video games with one another and then did our garden running.  We came home, worked in the garden and smoked a small brisket!  It was delicious!  The work we did in the garden was: 1. Add in the cage and strings for the cucumbers to grow up  2. Tied small stakes to all the tomato and pepper plants in hopes of making them stronger 3. Added more dirt to the potato piles 4. Planted Alona, our new rose bush 5. Added organic plant food and compost to Lulu, the hanging tomato, and the entire garden.  I hope everyone else had a nice father's day!
