Gardening

After an almost 3 year hiatus, the Delp's are back to gardening!  Something about digging in the ground when the littles ones are crawling in it makes it a little hard to get motivated!  This year we have done quite a bit of work in the back yard after the tree came down and we put a fence in.  Here is a bit of the work that we have done:

We are utilizing this space as a fruit, vegetable, and rose garden.  Thus far we have blueberries, strawberries, peppers, herbs, tomatoes, and zucchini growing.

This is our attempt at being Georgian, a Peach Tree:

Sam and Maya have really taken to the garden and Sam especially loves to "check" on his flowers daily. He gives me updates as to which flowers have bloomed and which plants have fruit on them.  No strawberries yet for us:

Sam has enjoyed eating Dill, Basil, and Spinach directly from the plant.  Thanks Grammy and Grandpa for teaching him this great trick.  Though something tells me he will enjoy blueberries a little more.

My favorite addition to the landscaping are the lights that lighten the walking path at night.  Sam and Maya love to "turn them on" each night.  They put their hands over the solar censors to turn the on.  It is pretty funny.
