OUR MINI GARDEN!

Our sad pumpkins!

Our corn


My flowers

Our tomatos



Our strawberries




I wanted to try and plant some tomatos, corn, strawberries, pumpkins, and flowers. Well I think that I am doing fairly well with most of the things except for the pumpkins. They look like they have had better days! I am amazed that the other plants are growing! I dont have a green thumb at all, and we planted the corn, pumpkins and flowers from seeds! The kids each got me differents flower seeds and they are so excited to see them grow! I wanted to try corn so I bought some corn and amazingly enough they are starting to sprout! The kids got the pumpkin seeds at the fair and I let them grow them in the house, they were doing great too, but then when we transplanted them outside they havent done so well. I am still keeping my fingers crossed, that they will bounce back! I felt so bad, Ethan started to cry the other day because the pumpkins didnt look so great! I tried to explain to him that it wasnt his fault that it was my fault and that I would try to make it up to him! I had some great advice from my brother-in-law on how to water them so hopefully they will start to bounce back! Here are a few pics of what we have so far! Beware the pumpkins look really sad!
