Our little garden continues to grow

After a week of heavy rain, and a sunny long weekend away, our little garden is continuing to thrive. The strawberry plants are blossoming, the peas and beans have taken hold and their vines are winding themselves up their trellises.

Even our little carrot seedlings have poked their tiny heads up out of the ground.

The girls are continuing to show an interest in how the garden is changing. With the help of Vivien, their nanny, they have added to the garden decorations by adding a cheerful rainbow-colored wind turbine.

To my utter surprise and amazement, the munched upon cucumber seedlings have (mostly) continued to live and send out new leaves.  Their strong desire to thrive has encouraged us to continue to give them water, sun and love and we are hoping that they will still make it to our veggie box. The cloche appears to have halted the nibbling advances of Annabelle the cat.

There are no signs yet from our pumpkin seeds, but we are keeping a watchful eye. The final step in our garden planting will be to add some giant sunflower seeds to our flower beds and eventually plant the cucumber plants outdoors.
