Gardening

We are going to put in a vegetable garden! YEA! Planning to have beans, eggplant, squash, zucchini, hot peppers, sweet peppers, onions, lettuce, spinach, carrots, brussels, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, butternut squash, pumplins, cantaloupe and watermelons. Haha...or whatever will grow!

It is true, we have definitely lost our minds and have no idea how we'll keep up with it over the summer, but we are super excited to grow our own food. Everyone keeps telling us to start small...so we are trying to heed their advice.

As Ryan told me, there is a reason most gardeners are older or retired...they have the time for it. Hopefully the kids will help us as they get older...slave labor is one of the benefits of having children, right?

Here are some pics of us preparing the area. Unfortunately there was a tiny tree overgrown with vines which had roots running about 15-20 ft under the ground. Ugh...it was a pain in the butt to get them all up, but we did it! We did most of the work while Hunter and Mason napped, but when Mason woke he instantly took on the role of foreman.
