Take the time to smell the flowers, friends!

Sophie and I went outside to do a little watering since Grandma (@mamajeani) is busy baking for her market Saturday! Ive noticed we have some beauties growing in the yard but havent had the time to actually go explore! Theres so much going on out there! After seeing how great these photos came out, I just knew I had to share with my Steemit friends! :)

I let Sophie do the watering so I could take pictures. She only sprayed me once... or twice... Little shit! :P

White Lilies! These and the reds are growing together in one pot. So pretty!

Beautiful yellow wild flower. These come back every year and are now sprouting up in different areas of the yard!

Hello Mr. Snaily! He was hanging out with the blackberries... Sneaky sneaky!

Then we come up to the veggies and fruits! The strawberry plants are Sophie's... as in she doesnt share! We picked a total of 6 today and she ate them before I could get a single picture! So glad theyre doing well this year. Last year I think we got maybe 2 and they were attacked by bugs!

Baby blackberries!

These big boy tomatoes were trying to hide! After we watered the plants, they laid down a bit and exposed the hiding spot! This is the first year we have had such great growth on the big boy tomatoes!


cherry tomato.jpg
Then of course, we have some cherry or grape tomatoes, not sure which! Im thinking grape, as they seem pretty large already to be cherry!


snap peas.jpg
Then we have some snap peas! These have been doing GREAT this year! Sophie loves to snap these and feed the baby chicks the peas in them. Super fun to watch the chickens trying to get a hold of one.


green and purple beans.jpg
Last but not least, these guys are awesome! Purple, yellow and green beans! Theyve grown good enough this year that mom has been able to use a few bundles in her dinner kits. The lady was so happy to get her different color beans!

It was lots of fun to get out in the yard with Sophie. She loves checking out all the plants and veggies. I hope her interest stays into gardening. I think its so important for kiddos to understand where their food comes from! And of course, its always great to get outside and soak up some good ol' Vitamin D! The blood sucker skeeters came out and made us come back inside but it was fun while it lasted! If you get a chance, get outside today, get a little sunshine and....

SMELL THE FLOWERS!

Very good my friend
Posting good

What a wonderful stroll around the garden... Lovely stunning coloured flowers... They are gorgeous! I can't believe all that you grow... I would love to have grown all that! :))

Thank you so much for stopping by! Everything is growing so well right now... hoping they continue as its getting hotter. We have to water twice a day already! Damn Texas weather!

It's so good and the explanation is very real ,cool ;)

Thank you :)

A very interesting and interesting profile.
Regards! :)

Thank you :)

this very interest I love it

Our trees are just now getting leafs. The grass, well weeds are just starting to turn green. The only flowers growing outside right now and flowering are the dandelions. and some of them already fluff balled out. And yeah if you have strawberries and want to get a picture, well you need to do it before she sees they are ready to eat, heck if I was there you would need to do it before I saw they were ready to eat. Almost time for us to hit the nursery up and get the nasturtiums and pansies, and maybe some other flowers. Just container gardening for us again this year I think.

LOL!! Yes, I learned my lesson on that one! Theyre still pretty small, but bright red and smelled delicious! And according to her, they were! Hope to see some of your beauties soon!

The flowers look majestic. It is indeed good for kiddos to know where plants and food come from. Keep up the good work teaching the little one!

Thank you so much! We try to teach her all that we can... the more you know, the more you grow! :D

That red lily looks like the multi-mouth of all the creatures from Resident Evil movies! Lol!

Namaste, Jaichai

Bahaha! I can definitely see that! Thanks for stopping by!

Waaw!!! These flowers are beautiful and catchy. @smylie2005
