My Garden...


Early this summer, Mike decided that he wanted to plant a garden, so he bought all the stuff, tilled the ground, planted them,.... and then left to go to Colorado...Now plants are not my thing. I can do an awesome display of fake ones, but real ones are another story. Two of my sisters were born with a killer green thumb...I was just born a killer (of plants)...However, I have nutured this little garden like it was my own flesh and blood. Mike planted six pumpkins seeds in one mound, and the seed pack said if more than two came up, you were supposed to thin them out until you only had two plants....Well, all six came up! Who would have thought pulling out a pumpkin plant would be so hard! I told Mike "That it was like killing my children!"
After a couple months, we are starting to see some results. The peas came in and were delicious...The peppers, cucumbers, squash, watermelons, and tomatoes are growing, and we have had zucchinni the last couple days that were ready for picking...Never did I think that this project that was somewhat thrown on my shoulders would be so rewarding....

  1. I am SO proud of you!!! Way to go, maybe your green thumb just needed to be forced into existence. And I completely agree, it is an amazingly rewarding experience, kinda like giving birth, minus the fat, aches, pains, and crying! Congrats!
