Our latest massive undertaking

For the past two or three weeks, we have been working on another major project to improve our house. It's an outside project, but hopefully it will pay for itself in the next three months. I'm sure that most of you will think we have lost our minds, but a garden is something that Josh and I have always wanted. Now, a garden is something that is manageable but of course we had to go above and beyond. We built a box garden in our backyard that measures 10'x40'. For all of you math challenged readers out there, that's 400 sq. feet of garden to water and tend everyday. We have a plethora of fruits and vegetables that are beginning to bud and sprout. We have: snap peas, black eyed peas, lima beans, green beans, green leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce, green head lettuce, spinach, four types of tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, onions, carrots, turnips, okra, green peppers, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers, cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, strawberries, and watermelons. With all of these fruits and veggies occupying our backyard, we definitely have our hands full and a summer of work staring us in the face. But the best part of this will come this fall when I can make a large pot of spaghetti sauce complete with only ingredients from our garden. Happy Spring!
