Et skuffejern:
I had already (accidently) planted a pumpkin next to our stoop. (As last years jack-o-lantern and other pumpkins started to decay, I rolled them off the stoop and down behind the Cana-lillies....and one of the seeds sprouted!
Pumpkin in May
The boys got very excited and gardening is a great thing for kids to do, so for my 40th. birthday this year I asked far to help me out.
He tilled a triangular piece:
And we planted some nice flowers:
I went out and bought a tomatoe plant, and planted it in front of the porch. far helped me tie it up, so it has some support as it grows (it's right next to the blue flag):
I also got a Daisy, a Basil, some Johnny jump up (mini-stedmorblomst), some Chive (which have yet to sprout...), and some Carnation, that died :(
We already had a Rosemary, and I planted a pineapple-top next to it - we'll see if it grows.

Basil and Daisy (before the flower grew.)
Here they are now.
The Pineapple in the Rosemary pot.
We have also harvested the first pumpkin:
Now I just have to find out what I wanna do w/it....Halloween is still some time away. And what's further more; we have 3 more on the way, that will be ready right at the end of october!
So this one is going to be made into pumpkin bread or jam or something... we'll see!
The Basil and Rosemary I'm drying in the kitchen to add to olive oils in about 4 weeks time :)
~ Have a blessed day ~
