Gardening

A new post??? What? Seriously?

Yes, seriously. I don't know what happened to my blog. I don't even really keep up with other people's blogs anymore either.

Anyway, I'm not going to bother with excuses or even make promises to try to do better.

Shane had been talking a lot about starting a vegetable garden, so a few weeks ago, he started digging up the back yard...
We went to the garden store and learned that we were too late to start a garden from seed, so we picked up the necessary supplies to make our soil usable and picked out some plants. We brought our supplies back, and Leyla helped us out.

The finished product. We'll have green bell peppers, fresh lettuce, purple bell peppers, cilantro, basil, and green onions. Neither Shane nor I like tomatoes, so we didn't bother with that (Chloe took this picture). It's been fun to watch them grow, and I hope we get some good produce!

(I know it's not pretty. But we had a bunch of those brick pavers in the back yard, and not very much money, so we put them to use as a barrier)

WooHoo! The drought is over...?! That garden looks fabulous. And what a couple of good helpers you've got there too. Leyla looks like Chloe at that age...woul'd think they were sisters or something.Can't wait to see them in their Easter dress finery...

How ambitious. I hope you have good luck with it! I am a notorious plant killer so I have never attempted a garden. I would like to but...there's that whole plant killer thing and all that work. Good for you!
