In the Garden

A big part of this year is growing our very own garden. This is something we've tried and failed; some years more miserably than others. But this year we've done it right. In a lots of sun spot, awesome soil & compost from the folks at Stack's Nursery right next door, research, planning. Planning! No willy nilly dash to Home Depot for a load of plants to toss in the ground and ignore after a week. This year it's for real. I mean it this time. I'm much better at keeping promises to myself than I used to be. 

We're going to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, basil, several different kinds of peppers, parsley, strawberries, and maybe a wild watermelon in a container. Rumor has it that watermelons are like little Hitlers- they just wanna take over everything. Jack really wants that one thing, so of course we'll have one. Mostly because he will not be talked out of it.

Two more to go!
