Hey loves. Happy Memorial Day weekend to my fellow American readers. The week went by so fast. Welcome back to another Grateful Sunday post. Last week we completed our raised garden beds and started working on the pool. This week we are planting vegetables and some flowers in our garden. I know some of you wanted to see more of what we are doing in our backyard, so I took lots of pictures for you.
Planting Vegetables & Flowers In Our Garden
We wanted to plant a variety of vegetables this year. Having fresh produce during the summer/fall is such an incredible blessing to our family.
What’s in our vegetable garden?
One of the main thing that Demo wanted to plant this year is corn. Lots and lots of corn. In fact, he has an entire raised garden bed dedicated to just corn. We the enclosure, we are confident the rabbits won’t get into the corn. Let’s just hope that we get a few corn come harvest time.
We are also planting tomatoes. Last year we had a HUGE crop of tomatoes. It was also our first time making tomato sauce from scratch! Definitively want to try that again this year.
What else? We are also planting cucumbers, zucchini, roman lettuce, strawberries, cantaloupe, carrots, bell peppers, and a variety of fresh herbs.
On Saturday, Demo and his uncle visited a local flower shop called Centre Jardin Barbe. The shop has so many plants and flowers. Demo even got me some succulents!
Demo and his uncle got quite a lot of work done over the weekend. It was fun watching them plant vegetables and all the lovely flowers.
If you could plant something, what would it be?

We started a vegetable garden this year, too. We only planted brussels sprouts, carrots and potatoes to start with and see how it goes.
Gardening with the family makes you really appreciate all that we have and how fortunate we are
I have planted lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, squash and peppers so far (in addition to several herbs.) I have to pick up the rest of our plants today to finish out the garden! We’ve had several rainy weekends, so I’ve gotten behind in the garden.
I transplanted my tomato plants on Saturday. I am so looking forward to my fresh fruits and veggies!

I’m liking your choices of fruits and vegetables. I really need to figure out how to grow a bunch of types of peppers!
You garden is amazing! We are planting our first garden at our new house this year! I can’t wait!

My father had a garden when I was younger. When I finally got my own house, we also put one in. We love that it is a family affair and we all share in the joy of taking care of it.
I love seeing all those blooms! Your plants look so healthy. Gardening is such a nice hobby to engage in!
Aww this is such a sweet family project. My husband loves gardening and really wants to start a garden at our home. He wants to grow different kinds of vegetables. I wish I knew more about gardening. Your garden looks like it is going to be beautiful!
I planted flowers and sunflower seeds with my kiddos. Only problem I have, is my daughter in beginning just can’t wait to see her plant and keeps shaking and watering it. But at least she is now learning and knows how to take care of it.
The flowers look so lovely.
I definitely need to spend more time taking care my own garden in the next few weeks.
When am still living in my Mom’s place, gardening is one of my favorite things to do. Its been years I haven’t do it again. Planting and cultivating my own garden is such a good relaxation for me.
Your vegetable garden looks stunning! I live in an apartment but I am trying to add a little green touch by growing money plant and a few succulents. 🙂
What a perfect day to spend with the kids! I do love gardening too, with my family 🙂
such a simple and clean garden, i love when new plants and flowers are made into the garden, brings new life and that hunger for you to watch them all grow and get all grown like the others.
Thanks for sharing your garden . It looks lovely. And it’s good that the kids get to help. This they will learn the art of reponsiblity.
