Garden

For what seems like forever, I've been dreaming of having a garden at home.  I promised the girls we would plant pumpkin and watermelon seeds and then we could pick them and have yummy treats.  I dreamed of growing spinach and kale straight from behind my house so that I could make my protein shakes in the morning and not have to use the store-bought produce, but know it was garden fresh!  I dreamed of having Mike's yummy salsa and using my fresh garden tomatoes to dip my tortilla chips in to.  Well... gardening takes a LOT of time!  Here is a picture of me trying to clear the backyard land for my garden:

See?  A LOT of work!!  This was fun though, made me feel pretty tough girlish.

Mike helped me plant watermelons, tomatoes, an artichoke plant, cucumbers, and cilantro.  Adrian added some peppers and peas.  The weeds grew the best out of everything.  But we did end up with lots of produce, so I was pretty proud it was all home grown!  Pics of our final products to come in a future post....
