How does your garden grow??

After a wonderful day scrapbooking with beautiful friends I have taken my creativity outside today. I have been stocking up on seeds and plants over the last month and have planted lettuces, broccoli, and silver beet in our vege garden. I had also sown carrot seeds in the garden which we noticed this morning have finally sprouted!
The kids and I the other weekend had also sown spring onion seeds (in the round pots) and pumpkin, courgette, and corn seeds in the square pots. They have all taken now and we are so excited to watch them growing!
Any way the whole reason for this post is I finally planted the peas along the back of the garage this morning, so after digging, planting, then tying them up, here they are in the middle of the collage. They are just so tidy looking now and will have a better chance to grow and produce peas for us to eat!!!


Oh and look at our first strawberries getting bigger and bigger! Yummy Strawberries and ice cream, can't wait!





And just for mum here is a few pictures of our rabbits. The brown one was the only one in the litter and the black and white one has heaps of personality. Our wee diggers and here having a nice lunch of ummmm rabbit food! LOL But just like my mum I enjoy them immensely!



I suppose I get all this enjoyment for the outdoors from my parents, who both always tended to the vege and flower gardens and feed us beautiful veges and fruit from theirs and my grandads huge paddock of a garden!!
Also after having quite a few conversations with my mum recently on gardening, our pet rabbits and her upcoming birthday I thought I would put a post on here for mum to see.
Love You MUM!!

Wow I'm SO impressed with your vege growing abilities! It's awesome, and it teaches your kids such great skills, so good on you! My own vege growing skills are lacking, therefore Toby isn't going to learn in a hurry ooops. Nevermind. Oh and yesterday was FABULOUS! We have to do it more often than the school holidays LOL
