Emma's garden.....

Emma has a beautiful garden that her Daddy helps her with. She finished up planting the last of it this afternoon, pumpkins for the fall. Her strawberries are starting to ripen and she has 1 green tomato. We have already had a few delicious salads. Tomorrow night we are going to have the first of her spinach.
Here she is pretending to use the tiller. That's usually her Dad's job.




He told her to go ahead and try it. She went about a foot! LOL!
See the look on her face. ;)



This year she is growing carrots and celery,
those have never before been planted in one of our gardens.
Someone was telling me tonight that we have to tie up the celery so it blanches.



This is a shot of my Grandma's peonies! I love them for their beauty
and because I got the start from my Grandma many years ago.
They are a wonderful reminder of her and her home.
I just gave a start to Seth and Melanie to plant at their new house
and told them take a start with them if they ever move.

I love peonies, we had them in the backyard when I was growing up. I have always said that I would like to have a garden and grow tomatoes especially, maybe next year.

Hugs,

Emma~Your garden looks great! Keep up the good work! My Grandma used to grow her celery in clay tiles (tubes about 6-10" tall that used to be used in fields to drain the water). Looks like you'll have a lot to sell.
