Our Patio Garden

Madeline and I have been missing our flowers and strawberries that we had growing in our yard back in Utah so we have been picking up random flowers from different stores that we have visited. We have planted them in a nice planter and they look beautiful. We haven't had to water them yet because it has been so rainy, but we still watch after them and we hope that they will get some sunshine today.

We frequently walk back and forth from our apartment to campus and we pass by a large dumpster behind one of the buildings each time.We noticed one day that there was a pile of sand that had blown up next to the brick wall that surrounds the garbage. In that sand was growing 4 squash plants. We dug them up and put them in a planter by our flowers. The first couple of days we thought that we were going to lose them but they have perked right up. We don't know what kind of squash they are but we are very excited to find out.
