Our First Garden

One day my neighbor Ashley and I were talking about wanting to do a garden. We'd had this conversation a couple times before and finally decided to just do it. We didn't waste any time getting things going since it was already mid May. One Saturday we got all the plants, seeds, and materials, convinced our hubbies to help and got to work. Ashley's Grandpa also helped that day showing us the ropes in the nursery and how and where to plant things. It took us 7 hours to get the job done and we ended up planting the entire plot behind our house. We were all exhausted but excited and hopeful so see how it'll do. After 2 weeks we have some healthy tomato and pepper plants that have been preserved in the walls of water and a bunch of seeds have started to sprout! Exciting stuff. :) Wish us luck!

If a deer finds its way in the garden, Travis can just shoot it with his crossbow! What a way to be self sustaining!
