What the heck happened to posting since August???

Why haven't I posted since August?  I have no idea.  We did spend most of August camping, and then September at flower shows and camping, and October camping, then the holidays and winter time.  Now that it's spring, we are ready to get to it again!  I'll probably supplement posts with pictures from the end of last year.  But I will get caught up with the happenings of this year this week!

How Our Garden is Growing




Herb bed- Through the months, first check in, nothing but weeds, second month - no pictures :(, third month, herbs established, forth month - fully grown, some blooming and some already to seed.





Perennial Garden -  Month 1 - weeds and initial growth, Month 2 - cleared out of weeds and can see the plants growing, Month 3 - healthy plants growing and looking good, Month 4- Wow!  Lots of color finally and growing very large!






 Corn - Month 1 - planting seeds, Month 2 - checking growth, Month 3 - measuring growth, Month 4 - look at it grow!

Dahlia Bed - Months 1 and 2- started in pots, Month 3 - border of marigolds planted, Month 4 - pretty plants!  (even one bloom that I didn't get a picture of)






Front Garden - Months 1 and 2- just a front yard... Month 3 - I really should do something with the front yard, lets put in a new garden!  Month 4 - needing a bit of work still, but looking good!
 
 New dahlia bed alongside driveway, no before pictures...

We've all learned a lot, the girls are helping with the weeding and the picking of flowers for arrangements.  What a wonderful project.
Thank you Homeschool Village for this project!
