I find coming out here to be really peaceful and calming. My son is really enjoying it too. He just loves it.<br /><br />What challenges have you encountered?<br /><br />The dog dug it up in the beginning when he got off of his leash. I had to place the pumpkins way back from where I had originally planned so that he can't reach them. A couple of slugs have been after the lettuce too.<br /><br />What or who has been the biggest help in your gardening success?<br /><br />I've just been winging it!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RqjriCJgWRI/AAAAAAAAAGw/I-uMBUDyymA/s1600-h/DSCF1455.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RqjriCJgWRI/AAAAAAAAAGw/I-uMBUDyymA/s320/DSCF1455.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091578348667164946" /></a><br />That's gonna be a BIG pumpkin!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5644253971042316362-6141869768035879623?l=gardenchallenge-michelle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Hazelton Garden Challenge!!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5644253971042316362.post-80026200377661302942007-07-26T11:36:00.000-07:002007-07-31T17:49:51.249-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RqjqwCJgWOI/AAAAAAAAAGY/xJ-iP6qNbPQ/s1600-h/DSCF1450.JPG"><img style="float:centre; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RqjqwCJgWOI/AAAAAAAAAGY/xJ-iP6qNbPQ/s320/DSCF1450.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091577489673705698" /></a><br />A bush-crop cucumber has flowered<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RqjqwSJgWPI/AAAAAAAAAGg/8m8svDWACpw/s1600-h/DSCF1453.JPG"><img style="float:centre; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RqjqwSJgWPI/AAAAAAAAAGg/8m8svDWACpw/s320/DSCF1453.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091577493968673010" /></a><br />Who knew you could grow watermelon here!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RqjqxiJgWQI/AAAAAAAAAGo/k7D3r7slARw/s1600-h/DSCF1454.JPG"><img style="float:centre; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RqjqxiJgWQI/AAAAAAAAAGo/k7D3r7slARw/s320/DSCF1454.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091577515443509506" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5644253971042316362-8002620037766130294?l=gardenchallenge-michelle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Hazelton Garden Challenge!!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5644253971042316362.post-52586444776892678392007-07-26T11:24:00.000-07:002007-07-31T17:48:39.039-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/Rq_XYSJgWTI/AAAAAAAAAHA/nMAHAgw9uk0/s1600-h/michelle1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/Rq_XYSJgWTI/AAAAAAAAAHA/nMAHAgw9uk0/s320/michelle1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093526515767859506" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RqjoaiJgWMI/AAAAAAAAAGI/Z_9V9jJN6iE/s1600-h/DSCF1448.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RqjoaiJgWMI/AAAAAAAAAGI/Z_9V9jJN6iE/s320/DSCF1448.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091574921283262658" /></a><br /><br /><br />A few weeds won't stop this garden from growing!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5644253971042316362-5258644477689267839?l=gardenchallenge-michelle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Hazelton Garden Challenge!!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5644253971042316362.post-89500485661023032132007-06-16T09:55:00.000-07:002007-06-19T16:22:06.923-07:00<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RnQWGb8agHI/AAAAAAAAACE/jC3stqhi0D4/s1600-h/michelle2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_rWfEp9AL_Xk/RnQWGb8agHI/AAAAAAAAACE/jC3stqhi0D4/s320/michelle2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076706979789570162" /></a><br /><br />Participants: Michelle Sankey and her kids<br />Location: Swanell Drive<br />Resident of the Hazeltons Since: 26 years<br />Favourite Vegetable Dish: carrots and cucumbers<br />Past Gardening Experience: None<br />Soil Conditions: good, loose, sandy soil - very overgrown with chickweed and stinging nettle<br />Participating in the Garden Challenge Because: Recently moved into a new house with a huge yard that used to be a very nice garden.
