I couldn't wait to get a garden started this year. Why, I do not know. I don't like weeding, I don't like bugs, I don't like dirt. But, somehow the idea of having a living growing garden in my backyard seemed like a very nice idea.
I've been pretty proud of the fact that we acutally have some things growing. Stawberries, lettuce, peppers and tomatoes, peas and something that I forgot to mark so we are still waiting to see what it produces.
It has been a learning year for me. I think I will give it a go next year too, but with a few changes. The kids have really gotten a kick out of being able to eat things that we have grown.
I think next year I might rip out half the grass in our yard and plant sunflowers. There is something about them that just makes me happy.
