Gardening

This year I decided I wanted to try and plant a garden. I talked my husband into making me veggie boxes. A few years ago we tried to plant veggies in the ground behind the garage and it netted me some tomatoes and that was about it! So, this year we are trying again and I am hoping for success. I will be posting pictures to show off my veggies but so far all I have are dirt and plants!

I thought I bought a green pepper plant but that is not a green pepper. Do you know what it is?

Strawberry picking

Well I did it! I took two of the girls strawberry picking today. I went with one of my friends and her two daughters came along with there quiet and obedient children. My were not so quiet or obedient. K went walking up and down the rows finding the biggest strawberries and not following the directions. I didn't care because it looked like there were enough that should have been picked days ago laying around so she was just helping them out! On the drive home my kids got more and more silly. K says "Mom, spell I cup" of course I'm not falling for that one! Then C says "spell pug backwards" again not falling for it! Not sure what my friend thought about our car ride home but I'm sure she is glad her kids are all grown and out of the house!

Tomorrow's goal~ homemade strawberry jam, I'll let you know how it turns out!

Veggie Boxes with a little help from the Pioneer Women

My Mother's Day present!
Veggie boxes are finished and dirt is being loaded. Thanks to the pioneer women and her website. I suggest the boxes to my honey and showed him the directions. He grew up in Chicago so this farming thing is new to him.



OK, I know he doesn't look like the Pioneer Women's Marlboro Man in his wranglers but if he had wranglers on, watch out Marlboro Man!
