Farmer Frank!

Now that Spring is here, we have finally finished the garden. After many, many trips to Home Depot and the Farmer's Market, we have all the vegetables and herbs we need for the summer. This is a lot of work and TLC to make this work all summer. Here are a few shots of our garden, we will have to come back later in the summer to show how our work has paid off. Hopefully, we will have a large harvest to share with friends.

Tomatoes, Tomatoes, Tomatoes!!! Every kind. Grape Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, big Tomatoes, Pear Tomatoes. We will be giving them away this year!

Cucumbers, they didn't work last year. Keep your fingers crossed this year!

Zucchini and Squash, we will be making lots of stirfry or roasted veggies!

PEPPERS!!!! We have Jalapeno, Poblano, Anaheim, Hot Cherry, Bell Peppers in every color (green, yellow, orange, red, and even purple). We will be making lots of salsa!

Herbs, Broccoli, and Swiss Chard. The broccoli and swiss chard are new to us this year, I hope they work.

If this works, I will be so happy. This is Citranella, it is to help keep the mosquitos away. Last year, I think we had super mosquitos, they would bite even through the OFF!!!

This is Frank after a long weekend of planting the garden. He is so happy with the end product. Now he can't wait to start harvesting!!!!!

April

Now that Spring is here, we are spending lots of time outside. OB's new spot is the flower pot. We will see how long the flowers last now that OB thinks she is in charge. We have been working on the garden, and getting it ready for lots of veggies this summer. She is usually outside getting into something or just eating a stick, her favorite thing to eat. Strange, I know.
