can't we just buy our food at kroger??









men are so funny. this is our first garden venture so in my mind we are gonna have a little trial garden. well, as you can see from the pictures, my husband had a very different idea in mind! he plowed a field!!! but it's been fun. the kids love getting in there and helping. my parents always had a garden and i helped when i was little but i haven't worked in a garden since then. i am enjoying it, though. i forgot how fun it is to get my hands in the dirt. i was going to pull weeds the other day but couldn't find any. i was really impressed by how the corn was growing, though. then mike informed me that the "corn" was really johnson grass! i guess i have a little to learn about gardening...

  2. You sound like me when it comes to taking care of plants. I'm lucky I've got Pat Brummett living in front of me to keep an eye on mine. Lol

  3. Wow, now THAT is ambitious!!! I can't even imagine dealing with all those veggies once they start coming on. Hope you have a lot of freezer space and patience! It's worth it, though.
