Yes, it's true - I've been replaced with a veggie garden! I'm not joking, but I'm not sad either. I mean who doesn't love fresh lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, herbs, broccoli whenever their heart desires - which is a lot? This is our first attempt at gardening and I must admit - my man delivered. First and foremost, the garden had to look nice, so Joe built me a retaining wall. I'm very proud of this task alone. Then he followed the "Gardening by the Square Foot" method - which rocks! And now we eat fresh veggies every day. These pictures were of our fall garden and now we've extended it even more. Now we have lettuce, radishes, blackberries, strawberries, snap peas, green beans, tomatoes galore, cucumber, zucchini, yellow squash, mystery plant (some seeds fell out and starting growing, we don't know what they are yet), bell peppers, and jalapenos. I hope I'm still happy about our garden when it's 115 degrees!! BTW - any of your kids who want a little summer job by watering our garden call me. We go up to the cabin and to CA a lot during the summer and we'll need a little helper to water the garden and feed the dog. The waterer must not be afraid of dogs! :-)
Anyway, good job Babe, I love the garden and YOU too!!
PS - And for those of you who don't think I update my blog - just wait till you see what I post next week! Here's a teaser...."While the cats away, the mice will play....."

Nice garden. Can't wait for next week's post ; )
oooh, can't wait. you are a tease! please tell joe to have a talk with my husband. I want a garden so bad. On second thought, if I did it myself I might feel a whole lot cooler. We'll see.
I'm so glad you have a garden, they are the best! It is a perfect project for little kids. I could put them to work out there for a few hours watering, weeding, snacking, and they never complain. Enjoy it!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Your garden is fabulous.
