Strange things growing

With all the rain that has come down over the past week, things have been growing. And I do not just mean in the garden. We have this one spot in our yard where mushrooms grow, the kids think they are great, Mommy does not. Today I decided I should take a picture of these mushrooms because they were so big. I could hardly believe it! You could almost put a little fairy underneath the mushroom.

So then I thought I should take a few pictures of the garden. We planted our fall garden in two spots. Most of the greens are in the garden bed, while the tomato plants are in five (5) gallon buckets in the back yard. We planted everything from plants except for the spinach, which is finally coming up. Ben was worried that we had some bad seeds but at last we have I think about eight (8) plants. I’m pretty excited because we really like spinach and so do the kids.

We also have lettuce, Swiss chard, greens and Broccoli and winter squash. Although I think the bunny has been eating my broccoli, I’ll have to have Ben put an end to that and move the bunny to a new home. Our Cherry tomato plant is going wild, but we have tons of flowers and some fruit already growing on it, so hopefully we will have lots of cherry tomatoes in the fall. I can hardly wait to see what happens and how much we yield from our fall garden.

I also hope to break up some garlic and pop it in the ground but we’ll have to wait and see. Some time in the New Year we will plant onion sets and probably a new set of lettuce, spinach and big tomatoes. One day we’ll have this down with wonderful crops.
