2012 Garden Timeline


We still have some okra and bell pepper plants that have yet to become full grown, but the majority of our garden this year has reached the end of the road. This was our first Kentucky garden and I have to give great big kudos to my husband for all the work that he did. It's been 4 months of tilling, digging, planting, weeding, and harvesting and we have had plenty of produce to show for it. Here is our 2012 Kentucky garden timeline.

May 10, 2012 J is very thorough in his gardening plans. Z and I made all the labels. 



May 11, 2012 Broke Ground and planted seed
 



June 03, 2012 Things are sprouting



June 13, 2012 A beautiful day to cultivate



June 16, 2012 So close to harvest!



June 23, 2012 Budding Watermelon



July 9, 2012 Loads of onions, carrots, yellow squash, herbs, zucchini, and more.



July 28, 2012 Add corn, tomatoes, and summer squash to all that bounty.

Sj loves watermelon. Her sticky little fingers are dripping with the juice.

Thanks to J and the Kentucky soil for making this summers garden such a success.

Oh my goodness! The picture of SJ and the watermelon is adorable, I love it! Seems like this is a time when having too many mouths to feed could be a good thing:).
