Gardening

We finally started our garden this past week. After tilling a few times, I put the fence back up to keep the bunnies out and we planted. We purchased starter plants from Black Creek again this year. They have a really wide variety and their prices are very good.
We planted more Roma tomatoes this year so we can make more sauce and also dry some more, since it worked so well last year. And instead of 4, I just have 1 cherry tomato plant and 1 regular early girl variety. We also planted a hill of cantaloupe, watermelon and zucchini squash, lettuce, and several rows of corn, beans and peas. Our oregano bush survived the winter and is also growing very well.
Owen loved trying out his new watering can. After we put plants in he was helping out by patting down the dirt around them and in his words... making them all comfy.
