Gardening

Welp... they say to wait until Mother's Day weekend to plant a garden... so that's just what we did. The day after mothers day we were out there planting away and we can't wait till we see some green peaking through the soil. We figure should be the end of this week... then when they get a few inches we'll go through and thin everything out. It's so much fun watching veggies grow.
We planted 4 rows of corn, wax beans, green beans, snow peas, peas, cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and pumpkin. We are hoping our dear ol mole does not return...time will tell. Our mole ate about 1/2 our crop last year, he pulled stalks of corn down his hole, whole melon plants, cucumbers etc. I hope he's gone... but have a sneaky feeling he is gonna come back our way.
Here's Glenn prepping the soil
Planting COOOOORRRNNNNN (my all time favorite.... who needs anything else for dinner when it's corn season!!)
All ready to go!!

I wish I was closer so that I could reap the rewards of your garden in a few months.
