First Harvest ~ Sprinklers ~ and Mistakes

This week we got a couple things to help our garden. The first was a couple vine climbers for our peas! I am so excited about these! For the last years all we've used were sticks from the woodland near our house and yarn, but those weren't very tall, so it prevented our peas from getting as big as they could and we also had to make new ones every year. But these are really tall (almost four feet above the ground) AND we can reuse them year after year.

Did I mention we started our first harvest this week too? We harvested peas...

... and lettuce!

We got a sprinkler system two days ago which was basically three small, round sprinklers with connecting hoses (I meant to post about it, but... sorry), but those didn't reach the entire garden so this morning Dad and I went to Home Depot to get this new awesome sprinkler. I barely have to turn on the water and in twenty minutes it waters the entire garden (including the grass inside the picket fence, the pebble pathways between each garden and a portion of the hill on the other side of the fence!)!

The cucumber has bloomed. 

Watermelon 

I accidentally said in the last post that the big plant in GG's bed was pumpkin. Sorry, but it is actually Zuchini and we already have a big one!

THIS is the pumpkin. (I think ) 

(P.S. Rebekah and Michaela, this is kinda funny. I was chatting with Cydney and she asked what I had been doing lately. So I started telling her all the new things about my garden {since we did quite a bit this week} and she basically said, So why didn't you post about it. haha So I took these pictures and wrote this post while we chatted! haha)
