Garden of 2008

Our final garden delight is the blooming of our sunflowers. Our first garden ever filled us with delight and at times disappointment. We enjoyed watching things bloom and were able to eat broccoli, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, carrots and raspberries. Our pumpkins started out with a bang and promptly took over the world. Then to my great dismay they were attacked by some icky worms. The crop was decimated. Our corn was also first attacked by a raccoon and then stricken with some virus? Good thing Grandma Nancy is a master gardener and takes great delight in diagnosing all our wilting plants. Overall though I consider our first ever garden a huge success. The boys are excited for next year when we will add more crops and hopefully harvest a few strawberries.
