The seeds we sow...

Planting the garden!

Chloe watching to make sure we are planting the seeds correctly!

Ok so as many of you know my husband is a pretty picky eater so what may come as a big surprise is how much he has wanted to plant a garden. Now at our first house we had a very small garden - maybe the size of a card table, we have planted peppers in pots and tried our hand at a couple of watermelons (that was interesting) but that was the extent of our gardening. Of course Robert never does anything small - so our new garden is about 60x100! No I don't believe we will be using all of the space right now but he felt like if we were going to fence out a garden we might as well plan for the future! Kelsey and Robert went to Home Depot and stocked up on seeds - you name it they got it - well except my herbs and zuchinni and squash (I will have to go back for those). So far we have managed to plant carrots, celery, lettuce, spinach, sugar snap peas and radishes. The weather has delayed further planting but once it clears up we are on to all kinds of peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, grapes, pumpkins and watermelons. Did I mention again that Kelsey and Robert picked all this out!!?? So you can imagine the fun we will have once it gets going. We will have to let yall know what comes to fruition - literally in a few months or atleast I think thats how long it takes! Oh and we also are going to have a small orchard in the next several years - we have the beginnings of cherry trees, apple trees and some other ones - again Robert's choosing - not mine!
