City Kids, City Kids: How does your garden grow?



Guess what...last weekend we decided to start a garden on our deck.  I am so excited.  We are growing tomatoes, thyme, basil, culantro and parsley for the bunnies.  (I haven't see a bunny on our deck-but that is because they didn't have parsley to eat before)

To get started we went to Home Depot to buy our supplies.  I wanted to plant seeds but Daddy said it was too late so we had to get little plants.  My tomato plant is called Bush Goliath-it is going to be HUGE!!

We decided to put our tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets.  I helped get the buckets.
Larsen had fun trying to get into things at Home Depot.


Daddy and I worked very hard to get the soil ready.


Larsen thought she was helping but she was mostly just making a mess. 

 
Here I am with my tomato plant.  I picked out the blue tomato cage because I think that blue and orange look very good together and blue is my favorite color.


I took pictures of Mommy and Daddy by their tomato plants too.  I did a very good job taking pictures all by myself!


We have already had some basil and culantro from our garden and I liked the basil even though I really don't like green things.  We'll let you know when we start harvesting tomatoes or if we see any bunnies!
