Well, our garden (thanks to my husband) is growing very rapidly. It's producing some good lookin' fruit and veggies that are almost ripe for harvest. So far we've only been able to sample the cherry tomatoes and lettuce, but it won't be long until we're up to our eyeballs in corn and pumpkin. I guess I should be looking up some creative ways to fix them because I'm not quite sure we can eat all that we have... we'll be sharing with friends and neighbors too, so if you're a fan of these veggies we'd be glad to give some away.
I have to brag on Cleve and his green thumb I never knew he had. So he comes home about 2 months ago and told me it would be fun to start a garden (because he'd seen some neat seed packets at Tractor Supply). Having a newborn to take care of, I told him it seemed a little overwhelming and that I wouldn't be helping in the garden process. Well, that didn't slow him down one bit. He borrowed the neighbor's tiller and proceeded plant dozens of seeds which are now full fledged corn stalks, pumpkin and canteloupe vines, lettuce and tomatoes (the peppers are a little fineky). Every day Cleve comes home from work, changes clothes and takes Parker out to look at the garden. It's been their fun little project that now I've gotten excited about too. This was our trial run so next year we're planning to do even more. It's been a great experience and it encourages me to cook healthier for my family. If you have room in your yard I'd highly recommend gardening.
