) is busy baking for her market Saturday! Ive noticed we have some beauties growing in the yard but havent had the time to actually go explore! Theres so much going on out there! After seeing how great these photos came out, I just knew I had to share with my Steemit friends! :)
Look at the little fella there on the petal! Too cute!
I let Sophie do the watering so I could take pictures. She only sprayed me once... or twice... Little shit! :P
An up close shot of a red Lily!
Red Lily
White Lilies! These and the reds are growing together in one pot. So pretty!
Beautiful yellow wild flower. These come back every year and are now sprouting up in different areas of the yard!
Hello Mr. Snaily! He was hanging out with the blackberries... Sneaky sneaky!
Then we come up to the veggies and fruits! The strawberry plants are Sophie's... as in she doesnt share! We picked a total of 6 today and she ate them before I could get a single picture! So glad theyre doing well this year. Last year I think we got maybe 2 and they were attacked by bugs!
Baby blackberries!
These big boy tomatoes were trying to hide! After we watered the plants, they laid down a bit and exposed the hiding spot! This is the first year we have had such great growth on the big boy tomatoes!
Then of course, we have some cherry or grape tomatoes, not sure which! Im thinking grape, as they seem pretty large already to be cherry!
Then we have some snap peas! These have been doing GREAT this year! Sophie loves to snap these and feed the baby chicks the peas in them. Super fun to watch the chickens trying to get a hold of one.
Last but not least, these guys are awesome! Purple, yellow and green beans! Theyve grown good enough this year that mom has been able to use a few bundles in her dinner kits. The lady was so happy to get her different color beans!
It was lots of fun to get out in the yard with Sophie. She loves checking out all the plants and veggies. I hope her interest stays into gardening. I think its so important for kiddos to understand where their food comes from! And of course, its always great to get outside and soak up some good ol' Vitamin D! The blood sucker skeeters came out and made us come back inside but it was fun while it lasted! If you get a chance, get outside today, get a little sunshine and....
SMELL THE FLOWERS!
