We have had so much fun having a garden this year. It is the second time we have done a garden in this house. We used all of the knowledge we gained last year to make this garden much better. We have tomatoes, beans, corn, peppers, and yellow zuccini. We tryed to have mellons, pumkins and more squash but the evil earwig really took it's toll on them. I have decided that earwigs are my least favorite bug. We planted the corn more for the look than the corn, but we already were able to harvest some little white corn. It was so good we could eat it raw. The kids love to play in the corn rows they are taller than Rod now. We also have 6 foot sunflowers that are beginning to bud. They are going to be so pretty. The tomato plants are covered in green tomatoes that are just teasing us. I cannot wait for those to ripen. There is nothing better than a home grown tomatoes. Those alone make it worth the water and time. I have decided that I love to garden. I really enjoy the planting and weeding. I love to go out in the morning and take inventory on what is going on. It is cool and the plants smell so good. It really is little piece of heaven in the city. We feel really blessed that we are able to have such a big garden and have great trees for the kids to climb in. There is a huge apple tree that Bob has claimed. It is a really great climbing tree. We have also been able to set up an archery target for the kids. But now that Rod has taught me how to shoot arrows I am totally addicted. It is very peaceful to go out there and stand the shade and just focus on the target and nothing else. I highly recommend it to all women. Well I've gone off subject a little. (What else is new.) Anyway if you live nearby please come and enjoy our garden, for the rest of you, I'm sorry you won't get to have any of our tomatoes. I hope all of you are having a wonderful day!
