Finally, Spring is here! I'm going to ignore the fact that there was "threat of frost" two nights ago, and we're moving forward...Tonight is the night for planting our garden! We were fortunate enough to be able to get a community garden in Sioux Falls, so we are now proud gardeners of 160 square feet of beautiful, manure-laced earth. My ultimate aspiration is to be fully sustained for our veggie needs throughout the summer, plus have excess to freeze/can for the fall and winter...but I'm trying to be realistic. Even if we only get a few meals, it will be worth it for the experience! Nathan especially has been excited and been doing lots of planning. Here is a list of things he wanted to plant:
(tomato, green beans, cucumber, carrots, peas, pumpkins, zuccini, potato, corn...the rest Iwrote because Nathan did not actually want to plant onion, garlic, peppers, or herbs. Also Addie got a hold of the list which is why there is some scribbling, and Nathan put "I heart" in front of some of the veggies:)As a Mother's Day gift we went to Lowe's and Nathan and I picked out some seeds...I think we got some good ones!
In a week or two we'll go to a local greenhouse and get our tomatoes, peppers, and herbs and plant those (we're not completely ingnoring the frost threat!)
