Home Grown

Our garden has done wonders this year. Chris has worked so hard since day 1 on having the perfect garden and he has done a fantastic job! This year we planted carrots, corn, onions, lettuce, spinach, peas, green beans, tomatos, tomatillos, green peppers, strawberries, radishes, jalepenos, and.........I can't remember what else. It was such a treat to run out to the garden and snip fresh lettuce, spinach, radishes, and carrots for that evenings dinner salad. Taylor loves to join her Daddy in the garden, although she still steps on Daddy's beloved plants which generally gets a squeal out of him. We had a surprise in our garden this year too...last fall, Chris rototilled the garden after the season was done...shortly after we threw all of our pumpkin guts out there from our Halloween pumpkins...guess what? Yup, you guessed it, we now have pumpkins growing right smack dab in the middle of our garden. Guess there won't be a need to hit the pumpkin patch this year. We have several big pumpkins in our very own garden.
