Mom and Dad's plants...

Chad picked out this tomato plant
This is one of my blackberry bushes (thornless)
Our baby fig tree
My lovely lemon tree (best smelling flowers and leaves)

Something fun to do with the kid-o's!!!

This fall Chad and I planted a tomato and Serrano pepper plant and we yielded a surprising harvest. It was so much fun!!! We decided to put them in pots and add basil and cilantro. We also let the girls pick a plant - they wanted a strawberry plant. If you look closely, you can see the tiny strawberry growing.

It has been very educational and fun to grow our own veggies and fruit. I would encourage you to plant one as well. They are very pretty because each plant has a different color flower that will bloom first and that is where the fruit or pepper grows from. I am sure they grow better in the ground, but we wanted to see how well they would do in our pots.

We use the pepper and cilantro to make salsa...we make salsa a lot!!!

We have also planted peach trees, blackberry bushes, and fig trees. My grandparents grew a lot in their backyard, so it is a fun memory I wanted to create for us as well.
