The tomato plants are taller than the boys.  They have gone wild! (Both boys and tomatoes are wild!)

Can you tell that Nikolai was not impressed with our plants?

Deniska is pointing out the baby bell peppers.  Notice the Silly Bandz on his arm.  They are all the rage here.

Week 3

Today’s pictures were taken by Deniska.  He is keeping a book with all the data gathered on each plant.  I think he is keeping a chart of how much fruit they produce, when we fertilize them, etc….  He is my little gardener.

Week 2

Our container garden is doing very well. For the past 2 years, we had square foot gardens. I believe I like the container garden better. It certainly is more convenient and less trouble.

Our cucumber plants are growing but no sign of any baby cucumbers yet.

Deniska was very excited to find a tiny baby bell pepper growing. It’s the size of a pea.

Let’s inspect these plants to see how many tomatoes we have. Each plant had at least 1 tomato growing with lots of flowers blooming.

Cucumber plants (Mary and Martha) – hmmm, they may not make it.  But, they have grown.

Bell pepper plants, Peter and Paul.  I don’t know why these turned out so hazy.  Could be I could use a new camera?!  I know, you are tired of hearing that…..

Our tom tom tomatoes, you know those little tomatoes that are on salad bars.  It looks like a good crop so far!  Genesis, you are doing a good job!!
