Well not much has been happening here at the Hepworth house, except gardening so that's what I am going to post about.
Here is one of our little gardens where we are growing strawberries, a pumpkin, peas, oregano, broccoli, radishes, and beats. It's amazing how much you can grow in such a small space! Oh, and the pansies are my favorite!
We have found that planting our lettuce and spinach in pots keeps the snails and slugs away and we have a great rotation and keep lettuce and spinach all spring and summer long, as we plant new seeds every weekend.
Kendall gets home from work and goes straight out to the garden and checks on all the plants, I think it's kind of a stress release for him.
So this is where we had our squash beast last year, we decided to plant peas here instead and they have grown huge! I think it's something about this spot that plants love. Our squash beast was a good 6 feet tall this time last year, but this year it's only about 2 feet tall right now.
Daniel and Emma are helping Kendall plant some lettuce and spinach.
Daniel just LOVES playing in the dirt! Can we say bath time!
Noah loves searching for strawberries, which never seem to make it into the house.
Strawberries, YUMMY!
Noah snitching some lettuce.
Noah eating the peas. The last couple of days all the neighbor kids have been coming over and just love that we have food growing in our yard, they are always grabbing peas and strawberries.
Emma with her wild hair eating a pea.
Daniel loves to be outside and we have had such wonderfully warm sunny weather this last month so we go through a lot of sunblock as they are out all day long!
