Garden 2009

5.22.09
We went to the garden center to pick out our plants for our garden this year. We went with the intent of only getting two or three different plants, and being done. Last year was a little out of control, so we thought we'd scale back. :)...well, our plan didn't exactly work so well. We just couldn't decide on a few, and we both get so excited about plants (okay mostly me). So, we ended up with: Moscow tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, both red and green peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, a watermelon plant, yellow daisies, and French Lavender. Wow! Hallie wanted to touch all the plants, so we had to put them out of reach....We had a wedding to go to that night, so unfortunately planting had to wait for the next day.

Here we are planting our new garden. It was a beautiful day for planting, it had cooled off and stayed really nice.

Though we did have to design a cage to surround our strawberries, so the birds don't eat them, everything is growing well. The last week or so of rain has been rather helpful in that way too. :)

all those things sounds so yummy! (well, except the lavendar and daisies:)). I hope things are growing well! Hallie looks like she enjoyed herself while you guys planted.
