This year Mike planted a garden. We don't have much room so it isn't very big. He planted 4 different kinds of tomatoes and 3 different kinds of peppers. This poor garden has been through a lot. First it took forever to get in because he had to dig out all of the rocks. There were a million and ten of them. Second, we couldn't plant very early because the weather thought it was still winter. Third, once he did get it planted Alice thought it would be necessary to prune down a few of the plants. Fourth, Alice decided once again to rip out four of our pepper plants, oh yeah and eat the only red tomato so far. Needless to say. She doesn't go near the garden anymore. Despite all of these setbacks we are finally getting some peppers and tomatoes coming in. I am so excited and hope that even though we got a late start we will be able to have home grown vegetables (eventually).
Also along our back fence we planted some wild flowers. They took awhile to grow anything pretty. I love the pretty colors that have come out though. The best part is that they need so little maintenance.
I love having my own yard.
