Zukes are back in action...

My FIL said because of the hot weather I MUST water twice a day and it brought my zukes back to life! I'm so happy, so far they're considered Organic cause I haven't used any pesticides and I hope to keep it that way BUT I think  if those little buggers tried messing with my food supply I'll have no problem zuking them. Consider that a warning.

On forth of July I had my in laws over and my FIL noticed I had a tomato plant growing in between all the weeds, of course I didn't believe him and was like, whatevA. I decided not to pull it and let it grow and sure enough.....this is what happened.....

Is it a tomato?

I told you it was hot....

Look at my Shriveled up Zukes :-(

My zukes are dying! they can't take the heat, besides excessively watering them, should I be tenting them? Should I cover these babies? They're not liking the heat at all OR should I just stick to the watering two times a day. I showed my FIL and he says that I should water early in the morning and in the evening. I've been eyeing that Zuke for days now and noticed it wasn't growing and right after I took this picture I watered it and the damn zuke went flying off!! I guess the bottom had dried out that it made it weak so it fell off. Can you tell that I'm sad about my zukes? :-( waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh

The Kid's Garden

when we were planting flowers in our flower bed the kids got a hold of my zucchinni seeds that I wanted to plant in the backyard and planted them in the flower bed! every time I came out to water it I noticed some leaves coming out of the dirt that didn't look like weeds so I left them. As time went on my MIL came over and said, "oh you're growing zucchinnies!" At first I was like WTH? but then it all made sense. I could not find those seeds for the longest and I finally knew what happened to them! the kids got a hold of them! So after asking them both about the seeds, Bubbs finally confessed and said, " I didn't know they would grow!" LMAO! its ok though, we have fresh veggies and its just growing and growing.

besides the zukes we also have tomatoes, chilies and pumpkins growing! can't wait to see a ball come out of that plant.



Also, we baptized our nephew miguel and here's a pic.


And we've been working on the bathroom and here's an in progress pic, all we need now is the tile, everything else is done.
