Sunny days in Meridian

These are the famous farmers of Meridian! We have had so much fun with our garden. This was taken a few weeks ago and you should see it now. We have been harvesting lettuce, peas, and small carrots. The radishes were done a few weeks ago. Ryan was so excited about his garden this year that when we had a warm stretch in March he planted the peas, lettuce, radishes, and onions. Since then we have added green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, cucumbers, zucchini, red and green bell peppers, jalapenos, spaghetti squash, and a watermelon. We hope to have a bounteous harvest! I guess we also have a bunch of strawberries and some raspberry bushes.
Brooke and Sydney are just like their Dad and always want to be in the garden. They are great little helpers. We have sunflowers bordering the west side and they are lucky to even be alive after the girls walked all over them!
After Ryan planted some things in March, Brooke took the seeds from an apple she was eating and without telling me went and planted them outside. She then proceeded to have me come and see and this is where she planted them, on the patio! She even watered them. Maybe we forgot to fully explain the process of planting and growing!
Syd is always so happy and more often than not this is what I find her doing during the day, whether it is in the house or outside. One day she will be such a great big sister!
