Playing Catch Up #2

Gardening has been interesting this year. Dustin got me some potato grow bags for Christmas, so we planted our potatoes separately. We were SHOCKED at how quickly they grew! We had plants like a week after we planted, after 2 weeks, they were already 6" tall. We had to re-plant a lot of our seedlings, I don't know if it was because we got the seed packets at Home Depot instead of a seed store (I suspect so) or if we started the seeds too late, but they didn't make it. We bought our tomato plants after that. As usual, our zucchini plants are going crazy, but our pumpkins never even sprouted, which made me sad. We had a successful transplant with our peppers this year, which I think is due to them having more SPACE. Last year they got over-run by our potatoes. Still haven't seen any peppers on them yet, but we will soon. We tried a few new things this year. We tried Spinach, Lettuce, and pole beans. All of which are doing awesome. Here are some pictures for you!

I realized that I haven't even blogged about Jacob's birthday, so here I am...3 months late. We combined Jacob's birthday with Dustin's graduation because they were the same week. We were lucky enough to have his family fly out for the weekend, so we had a great time together! Dustin says it still hasn't hit him that he's actually DONE with school, it will probably hit him once Fall semester starts and he's not a part of it. Here are some pictures from Graduation and Jacob's birthday.
