Little Man's City Garden

Earlier this year little man and hubby planted a city garden. They planted a zucchini plant, 2 giant pumpkin plants, some tomato plants and 3 green pepper plants. Little man insisted I take pictures and put them on my blog for everyone to see.

Little man grew 2 zucchinis

They planted 1 zucchini plant and got 2 zucchinis then for some reason the plant died off. (plant on left)

Ozzy and daddy also planted 2 big pumpkin plants that one of our daycare kiddos gave us. (plant on right). The pumpkin plant has since grown about 6 more feet. Crazy!

Here is one of his pumpkins (I will keep you updated when they harvest it.)

They planted the tomatoes and peppers along the fence.

Yeah! Fresh tomatoes ready to be picked.

Ozzy is so excited about his city garden, he checks it daily. He was thrilled when he got to pick the tomatoes.

Ozzy wanted Grandma to make some kinni bread with the zucchini and of course we had to take pictures.
