If you are my Facebook friend then you know that last week at 6:30 AM I could be found in the garden impregnating female pumpkin flowers.

In the next 2 weeks, I predict we’ll have about 50 tomatoes. What to make?

Lots of nice sized peppers coming up.

If I could have a garden crush on anyone, it might be the broccoli. Look at those amazing leaves, hands down some of the prettiest..

More broccoli and a new transplanted (from our apartment) cauliflower.

Here we are at 10 weeks!

Look at the pumpkins!

This week our pumpkins were attacked by aphids, which is why we are spraying them away with some water/vegetable oil/dish soap mixture.

The ladybug is slowly eating them all too. Remember I talked about her last week, well she’s still there! She must love it there. Here she is, being the garden protector!

Lots of tomato flowers.. I watched a video on how to self pollinate them, basically you flick and shake them.. I look crazy when I’m working on the garden.

Garden: 9 weeks

Posted on August 2, 2010 by Meowzas

Hello 9 weeks. No real negatives this week. Everything is looking good. The pumpkins are going wild, I swear everyday we have to tie them up more. Also, we spotted our first ladybug. Of all days I didn’t have my phone on me to take a picture, it was that day. I hope she comes back!
