Growing like a…well, sunflower, I guess.

A little Addie’s garden update for you. Remember her little sunflower that she planted way back when she was a mere kindergartener? Well…take a look at it now!

We are anxiously awaiting the bloom, sooner or later it has to open up – I mean it is already 1 Daddy + 1 Addie high!

Her garden is ridiculous and pretty much just growing every which way. We had green beans for dinner tonight. We’ve had blueberries for our yogurt nearly every single day. And we almost have enough tomatoes to make a nice little caprese salad. And herbs. Holy cow, we have herbs like you wouldn’t believe. Please friends if you need something, come over and clip them from our yard…do not buy them at the market!

Every morning she takes her little basket out and wanders down the path to see what she can find.

I told her the other day that she has a very green thumb and she insisted, “No I don’t! I just washed my hands, Mama!”

  1. What a GREAT garden in very little space!!

    We did some container tomatoes and scattered peppers and tomatoes through the flower garden, so we should be enjoying a few fresh things soon too.

    I can’t get over how much Addie looks like Emma in the shot of her kneeling down.

    Thanks for sharing, good job Addie

  2. Sweet garden Addie… My favorite vegetable is green beans…..ummm. Your sunflower is unreal, what are you feeding it?
    Can wait to see you all in a couple weeks. We might just have some tomatores, and peppers.
    Love to you all !

  3. Look at all those blueberries. I am jealous. I have 2 blueberry bushes and I hardly ever get any berries from mine. I think the birds must eat them. It looks like Addie definitely has a green thumb. Hopefully that sunflower will bloom soon.

  4. Addie, I love your garden! You have been so good to it and now it is loving you back with delicious treats!
    xo

  5. Oh my………. I am so envious of Addie’s little garden. I have one but it doesn’t look anything like hers. On a side note, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CURLS???

  6. You sure must have your grandma’s and great-grandma’s trick with a garden! Yours is AWESOME!!! Way to go, Addie! When you told your mom you wanted a garden, you really meant it! Can’t imagine how proud Mom is of you. Also can’t believe how grown up you look.

  8. What a wonderful little garden she has! That sunflower is insanely tall LOL! She is doing a wonderful job. :)

  9. This is so wonderful. I remember planting sunflowers in the UK and seeing them through my kitchen window. Addie I am incredibly impressed by the fruits/veggies of your labour and the sunflower (when it blooms) will be the crowning glory…and after that…the sunflower SEEDS! oh boy oh boy!!!!
