| Down the Garden Path... | ||||||||||||

||||||||||||
| This year we started some garden vegetables as part of our homeschool science lesson on plants. They soon were big enough to transplant into a couple of large plastic bins. However.... we soon discovered we had too many plants for those bins, and had to buy some dollar-store planters. WELL.... by the time we were done, we had 2 bins, 3 planters, 10 white buckets for the tomatoes that didn't fit anywhere else, and we dug up a 2x5 section of the lawn. And it's still not enough... sigh... We have in our "little" garden carrots, tomatoes (20 plants, or so), yellow beans, green beans, peas, beets, swiss chard, radishes, onions, sunflowers, marigolds, and rhubarb. WHEW! Them's a lot of plants. and by the way, Miracle Gro DOES work! |

| The tomatoes in the bins- there are twice this many overall, and they are now the size of small trees. No joke. | ||||||||||||

| Oh, yes, the strawberries, thanks to my Dad. You see, we really DID run out of room- had to start hanging things from the eaves!!! | ||||||||||||
| The sunflowers, back in June. They are WAY bigger now, and the scarlet runner beans are climbing them. Tomatoes on the left. | ||||||||||||

| These are the plastic bins we started out with. We severely underestimatated how many plants we had, as well as how big they would get. | ||||||||||||
