Happy 9th Birthday to Dancer....

It was a Webkinz sleep over party this past Saturday night. Today is her actual birthday. I am hoping to post soon. I appologize for the lagging of time in between posts.

Spring Gardening

I recently checked out a book from the library called Square Foot Gardening by Bartholomew. It made me to rethink things in our small home garden. With some help from my husband and from a few of my kids we were able to transform our home garden into this....

We installed three trellis vine fences to help clear for more ground space. I planted two types of tomatoes, cucumber, string beans, zucchini, yellow squash and I am hoping to add cantaloupe too(if space allows).

The other vegetables that were planted were bell peppers (red, orange and yellow), radishes, carrots, beets, turnips, different types of lettuce, spinach, broccoli, Swiss chard, green onions, corn and lots of herbs.

With the recommendation from the book I also added marigolds and nasturtiums to help control pests that attempt to invade our garden and add a touch of color.

Now that our garden is planted and after a few finishing touches are needed we can sit back and pray for a bountiful harvest to share with friends and family.
