Our Garden

So this year, in spite of no place to put one, I am planting our garden. Our sweet neighbor gave us a corner of his garden to use this year, and the stuff that wouldn't fit I randomly spread throughout the rest of the yard. Our park strip is full of those Big Maxx pumpkins, my hillside is crawling with lettuce, where my woodpile used to be is covered in squash, and the front of my house is dotted with different kinds of tomatoes and herbs. It may not be the prettiest thing to look at, but I figure at least the stuff I planted at my neighbor's house has a fighting change of producing something. Time will tell. This year, I planted:
Ichiban Eggplant
Big Beauty Eggplant
Jalapeno Peppers
Green Bell Peppers
Beets
Corn
Celebrity Tomatoes
Christmas Grape Tomatoes
Yellow Pear Tomatoes (or as I call them, lightbulb tomatoes)
Hubbard Squash
Yellow Squash
Spaghetti Squash
Zucchini
Slicing Cucumbers
Lettuce
Jack be little Pumpkins
Big Maxx Pumpkins
Fennel
Oregano
Basil (which sadly I'm pretty sure died from not enough sun before I even planted it, but I'm waiting to see if there's a miracle)
and... Rosemary

It makes me hungry just thinking about it! :)

Good gravy - I thought you were the pregnant mother of 4 whose husband had an undiagnosed painful medical condition?

How can you possible have planted all that? Plus take care of it? How are you gonna be able to sit around blogging all day as the kids watch TV??

I feel lame.

HEY - do you have a rototiller? Wanna plant some stuff here? I've got an empty weed/garden patch about 20 X 10.

Honestly though, email me your secret (are you Samantha the witch?).

Of course you are planting a garden... do you not sleep woman? Seriously, how do you do everything? It boggles my mind!

You make me so excited to plant a garden! I cannot wait -tomorrow...I think. Way to make use of your space. I probably would've just waited until next year. You're so much better at thinking outside of the box. I can't wait to see your harvest. :)
