Monument Planting Day

Wednesday afternoon (26 May 2010) we planted 4 pumpkin plants, 1 tomato plant and 1 bell pepper plant (Thanks Josh!). Got the drip system with the timer all hooked up and green houses up. We planted 2 seeds from Dill (one is an orange and beautiful), a seed from Goob and one from Josh's Dad. We are just waiting for the soil heater coils to come! Griffey is not much help this year. He is a little wild.

Strizich - Pumpkin Planting

“Pumpkin Planting”

Today’s the day we decided to plant our baby giant! It’s quite windy but the weather has been consistently warm so I think we are safe from any freezing. Good luck baby giant. We can’t wait to watch you grow and grow!

Forsyth Pumpkin plant adopted

Well, timing wasn't my friend this year. Since our first seeds never germinated, I started a second set. Then, go figure, it was time for Gabe to be born. The hospital stay overtook my efforts to germinate pumpkin seeds. So thanks to the Strizichs', the Forsyths have adopted a plant. The patch was finally set up today. Hopefully the plant will go in the ground before the day is over. More than likely tomorrow though. It's definitely more difficult this year juggling feeding a newborn every couple of hours, eating, sleeping occasionally, and caring for a pumpkin plant. But don't worry, we'll perservere and have a bigger pumpkin than last year!

Wilson Pumpkins are in the ground

The pumpkins the day after we planted them in the garden.
We have three pumpkins for our three children ;-) Oh wait . . . we have four kids. Isabella was at a baseball game with her friend this evening.
