Rhubarb.. and Rhubarb Pie!

Once my Mama Rhubarb grows back. I'll do a tutorial step by step how to harvest then make a rhubarb pie.
It is very easy but I have been getting requests how to harvest it and what I cook with it.

Pond and Garden Updates!

Here are pictures of my pond plants. They started to bloom their flowers this weekend!

I have two of each of these plant in my pond!

  These plants we got this spring and they are doing well. We put the 2nd one in a much deeper section so it does not have that many leaves like this one does but it will soon!

 The fish love to spawn the most in this plant.

 They often get stuck and we have to fish them out with a small net.

This is my lettuce from spring 2012

  This is my lettuce from spring 2013. I have so much more this year!

These 3 pictures below is my baby rhubarb. I transplanted them last summer. They have survived and are growing just fine in their new place in my yard.

 This one is struggling a bit more as it has more sun on it during the day

 This is the mama plant the little ones came from. I was gonna take a before and after picture but my husband got a little pie happy and chopped it all up before I had a chance to say anything.

Here is 4 of my tomatoes 

 This is 6 carrots, 6 bell peppers and 3 zucchini 

 This is 2 cucumbers 

 Here is 3 more zucchini and 6 squash and 12 different types of peppers.

(6 cayenne and 6 jalapeno)

These will mostly go in our second raised garden bed and containers

 Here is more tomatoes and my garden beans (that wont grow)

 My strawberry plant and 2 corn!

My potato plants Soon they will be blooming some flowers and once the leaves die back.

They will be ready to harvest!!

 Herb: French tarragon 2013

This the French Tarragon from last year!

It gets real big! 2012

My raspberries! 2013

Last years Raspberries.. 2012

 My blueberries.. as you'll see they are not doing so well.

<--Special this last one. 2013

2012.. not sure if they are better or worse 

 Sunflowers I got from someone. I replanted them in these to get them hardy again. Before choosing where to put some in my backyard.

 Yellow Onions. Ill be planting more here soon in the same pot.

 Carrots- 4 to be exact.. Lets hope these dont get eaten like they did last year. 

 Parsley and Basil.. The three little pots are an experiment with more garden beans

The only thing I did not post on here were my other berries and strawberries.. I need to do some major weeding before I can show you those.

Coming Soon..

This coming weekend I'll be taking tons of pictures of my veggie garden. I am slacking this year on my blog and Ill be posting tons of stuff this weekend. I have stuff already in the ground and I'll be showing you where I started planting new areas in my yard!!
Hope to hear from my followers soon.
