Gardening!

Once again, hope springs ("Springs"...get it?) eternal, and we've planted a vegetable garden! It's not much yet, but hopefully we can keep the bunnies and bugs at bay (without excess chemicals) and remember to water things faithfully (for some reason, I tend to stop watering sometime around August).

In front, there are planters with salad-fixin's: lettuce...

and tomatoes...

In the back (the former owners' dog-pen), there's broccoli (a first for us):

and onions and garlic: (the big ones are left from last year)

and carrots: (again, the big ones came back from last year)

Carrots! May 07

and green peppers (back row) and canteloupe (another first for us!)

Green Peppers and Melons May 07

I also planted some spinach, but didn't take a picture.

I'll try to take update pics about once a month - hopefully there'll be something to blog about! Last year the rabbits battled us for a while despite the dog!
