Spring means...


Planting a garden! We skipped doing a garden last year, and the year before we didn't have great results, but we are both excited adn optimistic for our garden this year. Tom and the boys rototilled and got the boxes in place. Tom and I chose out a few plant starts (Adrienne, my seeds didn't do as well as yours!)for watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, zuccini and pumpkins. We mixed in composted manure and planted the plants. Now, we just have to water, weed and wait!

That is a serious garden. Jill will be so jealous when she sees it...we have a strip of garden along the side of our house...maybe 15 feet long and 2 ft wide. She diligently plants it every year, but she would love to have something like this.

That looks great! I would love to do a garden but I lack the know-how and, this year, the motivation :). One day...

Keep us posted on how it's doing!!
