Green Thumb

Or lets hope anyway.

 So this will be my first spring as a home owner. The start of gardening season! My neighbor who has an awesome garden has been getting things ready so I figured I should follow suit.

 So there is my little green house. Carrots and watermelon because that is what Hannah wanted to grow. Tomatoes because there is NOTHING quite like a garden tomato! Cucumbers because i wanted to try them.

 Next to the house, where flowers had been last year... I am planting Potatoes and onions. We shall see, it gets full sun, or so I thought but now after planting I notice the tree will at some point get leaves, and probably shade a good part of my plot... Either way, it was a nice time out in the dirt today. The kids even helped. Bailey played with a few worms, spread out some nice soil, got some rocks out... Hannah picked up weeds I had thrown, and garden tools and planted the onion bulbs with me.

 I am sore now, and really hoping that my hard work yields results!

 Tomorrow if it doesn't rain I plan on getting the garden bed ready to go. I got a full size shovel today so it should be a bit easier! I think that whole little plot will be taken up by our watermelons though... I am going to do the other plants in containers, near the fence so they can grow up it.

 I also got a thing of strawberries, rhubarb and asparagus, but I am unsure where and how to plant them. I need to research! I know the strawberries and asparagus will not even be ready to harvest this year, sadly... but MMMM for future years to come!!

 So that is what I have been up to pretty much all weekend. I had a house full of kids, but it was not so bad, because they played outside, and were good. This was a nice weekend. I am so very glad that spring is here. It was so nice having the windows open, and listening to my wind chimes, chime!

 hello spring, GOODBYE winter!
