Early May Garden Update

One of my 2 favorite garden pests.

I had so many tomato sproutlets this year that I felt compelled to make another garden bed out of some old logs. I started way too many seeds because I didn't really have faith in myself that they would grow...well they did! And I didn't have the heart to throw them out. So I HAD to build a new bed.
The red plastic on them supposedly increases their output by 20%. Because obviously I'm going to need all the extra tomatoes I can get.
And look- there's my other favorite garden pest!

Buds on the purple pepper!

The first little baby tomato of the year. Its a mystery as to what it is... My Gardening Gal Pal Anne gave me this as a sproutlet and then we both forgot exactly what this was. Best guess is some sort of roma. Whatever it is, I'm so happy to have it!

Happy Easter

This is a Bobo's Easter wish come true...a million and 1 pictures of sweet little children



These 2 girls are definitely deserving of some new hairbrushes

HOORAY FOR EASTER!

Oh great, sticky hands

Hunting for Easter Eggs

This is my favorite picture of the day. The details are perfect, right down to Kyle making goofy faces at the dog in the background

This is the only picture I could get of all 3 girls getting ready in their matching dresses

Look at this grown up girl. Can you see where she trimmed up her own hair on that right side? Its half-mullet mania over here

Oooh, Snow White shoes. A daring fashion choice

On our way to church!

After church...waiting for our seat at the Destin Yacht Club brunch


Eating chocolate, num num nummm

A rare picture of the two of us together. No wonder our children are so beautiful

Eh, these two are alright too

Life on Ye Olde Griffin Farm

I'm getting really anxious to plant summer stuff and have been working very hard at getting the garden ready.
So out with the old, in with the new! Its time to do a final harvest of all our cold weather veggies.
Here's a tasty salad from our winter garden x3...that's how many times I tried to get a decent picture of the girls.

Today it was time to rip out all of the carrots and onions. Many of them probably could have used some more grow-time. But like I said, I'm anxious for watermelons and tomatoes (I'm anticipating actually growing some this year)

Girls getting down to work

Found one!

Baby carrots

Here's all my onions and carrots. Well, not ALL. I pulled up carrots all winter long whenever I was making a recipe requiring some. This is all that was left in the ground as of today. The onions are a little on the pathetic side (I planted them back in October!) I'm just happy they grew though. I bought the little starter bulbs a coupl years ago and they'd been shovd in some forgotten corner of the garage the whole time. The fact they grew at all is amazing.

If I had a food blog, I'd post pictures like this:

Lessons learned this year: Don't grow radishes, no one will eat them. Same with the greens, no one at this house likes those either and I can't ever disguise them well enough.

Do grow carrots, peas, LOTS of brussel sprouts (MYAH loves them!) and get some better onions. If I do lettuce again, give them shade next time so they don't get as bitter.

Stay tuned for summer progress pictures!

Give Me Back My Myah O'Fish

The McDonald's Filet O Fish commercial. Its wrong in so many ways, but we can't help but love it

At last!

Our old camera pooped out, bummer.
I wish we could have had a camera when Kyle came home, but we didn't. I missed getting the excited reunion pics, but Kyle did make it home safe and sound last week.

I just now got the new camera we ordered and all i have to post right now is some funny AevynBurger pictures. She got mail!
How exciting! Surprising!

What is it? Must inspect...

Ooooh, I think she likes it!

Heck ya! She likes it alot
