and so our garden is in the earth.
we spent last saturday shopping plants at the farmer's market and local gardening center, before spending all day sunday--- digging and digging and watering and watering and digging and digging.
we got the electrified fence up and ready.
we got the plantlings in the ground.
we put the herb seeds in to begin our first journey in gardening...
what a way to start.
40x40 feet of hopes for vegetables later this summer.
mom got here mid-week and she helped plant the rest of our seeds.
getting dirt under our nails and cramps in our backs.
now we wait.
what we planted:
basil
cilantro
spearmint
chives
green onion
oregano
three rows of carrots
three rows of beets
three rows of green beans
16 tomato plants of all kinds
cucumbers
3 kinds of summer squash
cantaloupe
watermelon
peppers, sweet and hot
butternut squash and
pumpkins.
wish us luck.

I can't wait to see your veggies! How cool. Good luck. And your baby is getting so big! Look at the size of those feet!
I hope that your garden adventure turns out well. We have been unsuccessful in getting our plantings to sprout from seeds so far (only one bean plant,one tomato, and two summer squash have come up out of all we planted). We haven't given up yet! Your conditions look much better, actually having a garden plot. We're trying for porch garden. :) Happy Memorial Day!
