Friday Family Fun Day!

We had such a wonderful Family Fun Day!  We started by heading to a local nursery to purchase our seedlings that we were going to plant in our garden plot. We had a great time venturing through the green house with Landon and deciding which plants to purchase and grow.

We then headed to our garden and started planting!  This year, we planted tomatoes, green, yellow, red, and banana peppers, cucumbers, sugar snap peas, beans, cauliflower, peas, sweet basil, lettuce (a variety of types), zucchini, beats, carrots, and eggplants. Our strawberry plants and raspberry bush from last year are looking good and blooming flowers already. We opted out of planting potatoes, onions, watermelon, and celery this year. We are hoping for a wonderful crop so that we may make homemade baby food for Landon!

A fellow gardener makes art pieces in the garden. This, we think, is a dinosaur!  I love it!

Next we came home and planted our herbs on our back porch. We planted sweet basil, rosemary, German thyme, and chives. Yum!

 Herbs that will be used throughout the summer in marinades, salads, and roasting recipes.

Finally, Phil and I made homemade pizza (crust and all) and Landon watched. It was a great way to end the day!

 Pizza toppings!

 Italian Phil--doing his thing!

 Phil's pepperoni pizza--delicious!

 My tomato basil pizza--yummy!

Dinner!
