Planting Our Garden!

Growing up I loved planting a garden. We planted one every year and it produced the most amazing vegetables that we would eat all year long. Even when I went to college I had my Mom and Dad come to Charleston and help me plant a garden in my very little front yard! Each year in California I have planted a small garden but this year it was time for a family project! The whole family helped and we had a great time picking out the plants and planting them. I can't wait until we have some yummy veggies to pick. We planted some new things this year and I'm not sure how they will turn out, but we will see in a few months! Here are the things we planted: slicing tomatos, cherry tomatos, sweet banana peppers, cayene peppers, habanero peppers, corn, potatos, broccoli, asparagus, artichokes and a pumpkin! We also have some carrot seeds but I need to find a place to plant them. Here Ethan Jay is helping prepare the soil. Ethan Jay planting one of the tomato plants. Phew, this is hard work!

Ethan Jay loves watering the plants. Here he is watering the corn.
