How does your garden grow?

One of the first things i decided to do when we moved into our new house was i wanted tp build my own garden- i grew up in a home where my mom always had gardens going and loved it as a kid. Plus what a great learning experience for the Adam and Megan to see how vegetables that we eat are grown. It is still a work in progress- i have a lot more seed i would like to plant and want to remove all the weeds so i can add mulch or bark around the beds but we did get a few tomoatoe plants, some bell peppers, a couple of cantelope plants and a pumpkin plant growing. The kids love going out there everyday to see if any of our veggies are riped and ready to pick.

Right now we are on cantelope watch as we have a few small ones just starting to grow and everyday they go out there to see how big it got. That one in the picture is almost triple that size and that was taken about 4 days ago. So it will be fun to watch. I would love to see or here about your garden- what tricks have you learned or what do you like to grow? My dream is to grown a lot of fresh fruit and veggies for my family- teaches them while being healthy.

My First Blog Post and Happy Thanksgiving

I decide today would be a good day to create my blog since it is kinda quiet here with my husband sleeping and the kids watching cartoons. But another reason i thought it would be so good is because i wanted to say Thank you to all the men and women who are away from their families and fighting for our freedom but also fighting for the freedom of other during the holidays.

I was reminded of this today because of a friend of mine who is over in Iraq- he is over there fighting for what he and so many others believe in and during this whole time is making a huge sacrifice. And i am not just talking about putting his life on the line which i have heard him say he would do over and over again but also he is away from his family during the holidays. I can only imagine how hard it is to be away from your family and i am sure it is just as hard for the family as they too are sacrificing the precious time they have with their loved ones. So today i just want to say a huge Thank you to all the men and women who are making this sacrifice for our country- you will never know how much you are appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving to all- there is so much to be thankful for even in these times!
