It's Garden Time

I was so excited this year to start a garden. First off, nothing so nearly rivals the taste of fresh garden tomatoes! Second, I actually like working and taking care of a garden. Third, it’s a practical way to provide food for ourselves, while saving money-I like that!!! My lovely husband very willingly (not really) dug the whole garden for me (you know...because I am pregnant). It got successively bigger over the hours and days because he knew that I wasn't happy with how small it was. It's still very small. It holds 4 tomato plants, 4 pepper plants, 1 zucchini plant, 1 yellow squash plant, and 1 struggling sweet basil plant. I planted about 2 weeks ago when it was 90 degrees outside and then the temperature dipped to 40 degrees and my plants hated it. They all started to dry up and die. I am hoping they will make it and be big, beautiful plants come July. Here’s some before and after pictures, although they aren’t that impressive.
