Our Garden

Our little garden is just getting started. Ken planted everything last week. We buy plants from our neighbor who is a serious master-gardener and then plant them ourselves. The only thing we didn't buy as a plant were the green beans...Ken planted each bean. Its fun to go out there every day and water each plant in hopes of a full harvest over the summer. :) In June, we'll be planting pumpkins!!! And, in the fall, we'll plant lettuce, spinach, onions, garlic, and potatoes. I'm thankful to have the land to be able to plant our own garden...full of the things we eat the most! Here is what we have planted so far:

Cayenne Peppers: "Bob's" Peppers (One of our neighbors visits his family in Texas quite often. One year, he brought back this really hot pepper. He gave it to our neighbor that gardens to see if he could grow some here. The Oklahoma weather is great for it and we were given one to grow this year): Bell Peppers: Squash/Zucchini (We had one of each, but lost one with some of the strong winds we've had. We didn't label either one, so we don't know which plant we lost. I'm hoping we lost the squash b/c I LOVE zucchini!!!): Tomatoes: Cucumbers: Basil: Rosemary: Sweet Corn: Asparagus: And...we're waiting to get our Blackberry plants. I think we'll have them in a few weeks! :)

Hope you are all having a blessed Spring so far! We've had incredibly beautiful weather!!! Most days are warm with really cool nights. The kind of nights where you can leave your windows open when you sleep...but the days are warm enough for tank-tops and flip-flops. We've had a couple days that were in the 30's and a few that were in the 90's. Right now we are just in serious need of rain! I'm loving Spring and enjoying every minute before swimming-weather gets here. :)

Stay tuned for more garden and vegetable pictures!!!
