Pigs Flew Today

Those who know me know I am not a "lets go work outside kind of gal." I like being outside on nice days, but it usually consists of sitting in a lawn chair sipping ice water. I am trying to broaden my horizons. I am trying to get into this whole yard work thing.

We planted our garden today. It's done, now I just have to try and keep it alive and growing. I am trying to stay positive about it.

I was really glad my mom came over to help. She had some great pointers and helped me with the placement of the veggies. I would have never thought to plant the things on vines along the edge so they could grow out and over the pool. I think she also had a good laugh, she knows I am not into this kind of stuff. I am trying. I want Thomas to have the experience and I also want to have a garden.

This is what Clara did while we planted everything. She was fine just sitting in the doorway watching us.

We planted tomatoes, squash, strawberries, melons, beans, herbs, peppers and cucumbers.

I am really excited about my tomato tree. I bought it from the every-so-chic QVC. I had heard of them and wanted one and was really excited when I was flipping through stations one night and saw them demonstrating it. We'll see if it really works. I have my fingers crossed.
