Garden #1 has been planted!  :o)  What do we hope to grow abundantly here?  Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, green beans, snap peas, corn, squash, zuchinni, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, beets, watermelon, cantelope, and honeydew.

Garden #2 will be planted soon.  The kids have already started their sunflower hideaway where you see the brick markers.  More corn and green beans will come soon, along with pumpkins, gourds and some flowers for cutting.  This garden has a pretty good clay base, so it's harder to depend on for a good harvest.

I'm not the neatest gardener in the world.  This is about the most weed free they'll be all season!  But, I attempt to keep the weeds down enough to at least walk through the rows.  :)  I have some pretty handy helpers this year - woohoo!

Yes, these garden plots probably seem excessive to some of you.  We try to plant enough to share with all the little critters that love to steal our food.  Otherwise, we don't harvest much.  We'd like to can and freeze A LOT, too.  Food prices keep getting higher and higher, so every little bit will help.
