I have talked about having a vegetable garden for years. I know next to nothing about gardening, but I do know that fresh, home-grown veggies taste WAY better than store bought. So, this year I convinced Tim and our friends to start a garden with me.
Tim and some of the guys tilled it up for me, and then Christa came over and we planted it! We have peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, strawberries, watermelon, lettuce, carrots, and one pumpkin that I bought by accident. There is also a random pumpkin coming up that I didn't plant, because the seeds from last year's pumpkin had not totally decomposed in the compost bin. There were actually about a dozen of them, but I pulled up the rest to make room for the other stuff. Finally, Tim put up a fence to keep out the rabbits and small children that wander about the yard.
I am trying not to get my hopes up too much, because I am worried a rabbit will eat it all or we will have a drought or some sort of disease or something, but I am really excited! Hopefully in a few weeks (or months?) we will have some home-grown lovin' on the table. Wahoo!

Way to go! I'm impressed! We need to talk Rincon sometime soon.
YAY for gardens. We have it tilled but are late on the whole planting thing. :(
