Garden Time

Last year we planted our very first garden & loved it! This year we got a little bit of a late start due to being out of town, but it actually may be better anyways since it has been so wet lately. 

Today we made it out to our plant lady's house to buy a few starter plants from her.


She has three large green houses. One with flowers, one with other landscaping plants, and one with vegetables. 


We spent $24 & got 30 starter plants.

mint
sweet & hot peppers
tomatoes
eggplant
yellow squash & zucchini
watermelon

We also picked up a lot of seed at Home Depot while we were there for a few other projects.


All together we are planting:

We plan on getting our starters in the ground & our seeds in the trays this weekend. I'm hoping to be able to can more this fall, & try making some baby food to put up for Hadley.

More to come on that process!
