Since everyone keeps asking, here is what is slated to be included in our garden this year:
Beans Peas Carrots Onions (red and yellow)
Potatoes Corn Tomatoes Watermelon
Cantaloupe Lettuce Zucchini Yellow Squash
Mild peppers Hot peppers Pumpkins Cucumbers
Of course tons of flowers in our little cutting bed and herbs in the herb garden. Marigolds to keep the rabbits at bay and Russian sage to chase off the deer (but I don't think either will really work)
Farmer Travis has begun the construction of the composting bins and water collection system to sustain our gardening needs. We are playing a lot of catch up this spring, trying to accomplish multiple projects, but with each passing day and new green sprout we are blessed with the knowledge that this is all worth it!
My sister is quite the accomplished gardener. I think it runs in our blood, passed down from my grandfather. Her farmette isn't too terribly far from ours either. I am loving watching her seeds sprout, and listening to her advice and wisdom on the gardening front! It also is so amusing to me to be at a stage in our lives where we are trading seeds and borrowing hay as opposed to all of our previous trading our teenage years involved.
