Hitty Mickaela decides to see what kind of flowers are in the planter. they are minature pansies and they are just beautiful.




We meet some new friends inthe flower garden. Snow White and her dwarfs live among the flowers.




Mabel is soo hungary for some fresh grape jelly so she decides to climb in the grape harbor to see how much more time it will be till they are picked. oh my she says awhile yet before i can make some jelly.


The girls are looking over the orchard. There are apple trees, pear trees and peach trees in the orchard and each tree has fruit on them.



Ms. Hickory climbs up next to one of the apple trees to see what size the apples are. Ms linda picked some of these apples and made some delicious applesauce today.




There are green beans and also lima beans growing in the garden. The plants are all tall and green.


Mikaela decides to walk thru the corn patch. There is about 35 or more rows that are 100 feet long. that will be a lot of corn to eat and freeze for winter.



Mabel decides to move on into the rest of the garde. Oh my I wonder what is under these big leaves. it is a gree zuccini squash. it has a couple more days to grow before we can fry it and eat it. They are so delicious.




There ia a row with a lot of plants like these. Some are cabbage plants and the darker green ones are brocilli. They needed hoed and watered to grow real well.
Mikaela, shouts mabel what are you doiong. I am cimbing up this wall to see what is in here. That is not a wall , says Ms. Hickory, that is a tomato cage. Oh my there is tomatoes in here. They are green and some are getting red. I bet they will be good.


This is the beets and carrots and corn are right next to them.

Beets

They continue to walk thru the garden. Look at those big leaves, what kind of vegetable is that, asks Ms. Hickory. Mabel says, i do believe they are beets. I know you can eat the leaves and the vegetable under neath of this vegetable. Mikaela thinks maybe that is cool being able to eat both parts.
