Garden update

I'd intended to post a few times over the long weekend, but I was just too busy. I worked my butt off all weekend, but at least we accomplished a lot.

One of the main accomplishments was getting the garden almost completely filled in.

All we have let to plant is cucumbers, but they can't go in until it gets a little consistently warmer. The spinach is about to bolt, so I'll have to figure out what to put in its place. The cilantro is ready to bolt, too, from all the unseasonably hot days we've been having (though we've only put the air conditioning on today for the first time).

The tomatoes and and peppers, on the other hand, are quite happy.

I shouldn't have seen a pepper for at least another month, but this one seems good!

Jeff's trying potatoes again, though a different method this time. They also are doing very well, it seems.

And some bunny porn for Fiona:

The kale is doing very well. I thinned it out last night to get some of the plants to grow bigger before they bolt.

Our other big task of the weekend was putting up the new gazebo.

It's the Home Summer gazebo from Target. Very easy to put together and the perfect size for us. Since on the of reasons we don't use our backyard in the height of summer is the late afternoon sun and the evening bugs, this should help solve those problems. Kaylee's still having trouble figuring out where the openings are, but hopefully she'll understand that soon.

We also cleaned out the shed, power-washed the front porch and went to our niece Eve's third birthday party. And I started a new crochet project (more on that later).

I'm tired. I need a long weekend to recover from my long weekend.
