Lots of Firsts this year!

Well, this is the first year we have been to the farmers market and it seems to be going well.  We are very excited to see everyone out there.  Thanks for helping us make this successfull.

We have been eating more salad this year out of the garden and it has been AWESOME!  Really enjoy the variety of lettuce in the salads along with the spinach.  I even went and bought several different kinds of dressing so everyone can have their favorites!  The carrots are still really small, but good!

We have EXPANDED the garden, it is official!  We planted in the new garden area and applied the drip irrigation so hopefully it will all be ok, everyone cross your fingers for us!  We planted Squash(straight neck, crook neck, spaghetti, butternut), Zuchinii, purple hull peas, english peas(i know were late on this one, but we will see), and banana peppers!  Very excited to have the additional room in the garden, but we are not through yet!  Still have some black eyed peas to plant and watermelon and pumpkins!!  Come check it out as soon as you can!  OH and a very big thanks to Christopher Johnson, David, Micheal, Benjamin Capps for all their hard work.  These boys helped me plant over 400sqft of garden and apply drip irrigation, i could not have gotten it done in a day without thier help!  A special thanks to Hubby for coming home and helping me in my crisis with the irrigations stuff!

Keep Growing and we will see you soon!
