Yaaay! I finally got my garden planted!! With a cold even!
The sweat was running into my eyes...and they were burning, but it's in.

My son was pleading to go inside, so he did, and I remained, and it's in.

The rabbits are probably going to have a feast tonight on tender, new lettuce, but it's in...for now.

Now...I should be passed out...but I'm not.

:hi:

1. congrats!
and that is me eating your garden, not a rabbit, so check before Mr. G takes out his shotgun. And that is most likely me rooting around in your garbage too.:P

8. that is a really full garden!


My earliest memories are being on my grandfather's shoulders when he went out to his extensive garden, and we would pick snow peas.

17. A lot of work, but the rewards are worth it!
there is something about the warmth of the soil and watching the plants grow...I love it...and then comes the pain of canning...and pickling.

18. It must save at the cash register!
Buying your own veggies means you don't have to buy those items at the store.

4. Congrats!
That's a hard job. But I still like planting better than weeding.
