Not so well, to be honest. I think we have a case of over watering, due to a lawn sprinkler head being right in the middle of the garden (yes, you can see the offending sprinkler in the picture of the pepper). And I, of course, have not taken the time to figure out if there is a way to shut it off. Plus, I'm quite sure I planted too many plants too close together. Still...we have a tomato growing. Peppers growing, that look a little black and moldy. And some straggly wild flowers. Oh yes, and 2 asparagus stalks that I will have absolutely no idea when they are ready to pluck/pick/dig up/whatever you do with asparagus, and will not be enough for a meal so will have to perhaps end up as a midday asparagus snack. The garden has been kind of fun, if not very nice looking.
Liam isn't very interested in helping, but he likes to look for the produce growing. Natalie likes to help water...when she is in the mood. And Owen would like to water if not for the fact that the plants attract bugs and he is going through a huge bug phobia phase right now. So he carries the watering can over to the garden, then drops it screaming BUG BUG BUG BUG and waving his hands wildly around his face while stumbling around like he's being swarmed by killer bees until I pick him up and let him cling to my neck whimpering and I assure him that it was just a gnat or a fly. This could be a little annoying, but I find that I actually enjoy comforting my baby boy. I figure he'll outgrow it soon enough, and until then, he is asking me for comfort and protection, and I do love holding him so close.
