The Garden Is Planted ~ Finally !!!

It's that time of year ! When you either decide to put the work into planting your own food or decide to support the local fruit and veggie stands ! Our main problem is that we usually put the time and effort into our own food but it doesn't always grow the way you think it would and we end up supporting the local stands anyway ! We were deadset against doing a garden this year but just the thought of not being able to go out and pick the fresh lettuce or any of the tomatoes that happened to not be covered in blight .... well it made me a little sad ....
So this past weekend we started planting :) We have a good feeling about this years Garden :)

Here's what we are hoping will grow in the garden :

~ peas

~ corn

~ potatoes

~ zucchini

~ tomatoes

~ green & jalapeno peppers

~ cantaloupe

~ green beans

~ carrots

~ cucumbers

~ radish

~ lettuce

~ red & yellow onions

~ chives, thyme, parsley & lavender

This is a family job - not just Mom & Dad :)

I really did help !!!  I only took a two second break to snap a few pics ;)

All finished ! Can't wait to see everything popping up through the soil ....

Except the weeds .......

Last week we had to have this truck come ....

Don't even ask why ......

So the kids and the dog got an impromptu lesson on how the sewer system works !

Just be thankful computers are still unscented :)
