Alyssa playing dress up....

 
She had so many layers of clothes. ... it was cute.  
 Now she has Mattie dressing up with her too.
It is suprising how fast they grow, this was Mattie's first time to dress up but she is loving it, keeps following Alyssa all over. 
 
 

Working on the garden again..

        I am really happy with the way our garden is looking so far...  The Trevino Family Farm is on it's second year and it is of to a good start.   This year we built another box that is doubled in size to lasts year's so we now have three boxes.   I am excited so see how well we will do this year...
 
       Last year our best crop was the tomatoes and the cucumbers  so this year we are doing more and differents kinds of both.   Alyssa had such a great time picking and watering the garden that we hope Mattie will to this year .   Maybe we will have enough vegetables for both our girls to pick since last year Alyssa would hardly let the veggie's rippen before she wanted to pick and eat them.
 
          We did not have much luck with  the  strawberries, lettuce or cilantro so we were going to  focus on new vegetables this year but  Surprise..  Surprise.. the strawberries came back on their own and are doing good.   Alyssa has even picked a few.
 
      Squash and Zuccini is in the garden now and we will have to wait and see how it does. I also added many new peppers,  habaneros ,  seranos , cayanne , and back again Jalapenos. I was looking at maybe adding Ghost Chilies soon ( supposed to be the hottest pepper).  Fresh salsa here we come.... ; )
 
     We are working on getting rid of the ants we have in one of the boxes.. Many more plants to get after we are done... Still a work in progress.    Oh,  we did get another blueberry bush,  might get a peach tree too.   Can't wait.
