My Garden


 I started a garden this year.  I planted pumpkins, watermelon, zucchini, peppers, and tomatoes.  I took this picture about a week or so ago and today everything is way bigger!  It is going fabulously! I had a couple of tomato plants not take but they were pretty much dead when I planted them. lol!  The pumpkins that are growing in the firepit are also growing well.  I plan on canning a bunch of stuff this year.  I want to do salsa, zucchini marmalade, hot pepper jelly, grape jelly or jam, applesauce, and whatever else I can! I'm really excited!  I want to take the kids to an apple orchard and pick apples to do the applesauce.  I think it would be really fun!

Cullen is pretty excited to share the growing of the vegetables with me.  I like that someone else is interested daily because I had to drag Cedric out to the fire pit today to look at the pumpkins and he was like: "You have already shown me these a million times."  I laughed.  I go outside to the garden about two or three times a day!  Cullen likes to walk with me though and I have to protect him from the cat.  He has yet to warm up to the cat after almost two years!  Silly kid! Then we talk about how big the pumpkins are getting and he wonders if it will get bigger than the house.
