Look at my pretty Garden!

Bobby is the scarecrow the girls and I designed....He is so Fashonable (as the girls put it.)
We have planted 26 tomato plants, okra, cucumbers, green beans, cow peas, zucchini, peppers, bell Peppers, and Eggpant. In the front yard instead of flowers and plants I am growing carrots and watermelons.
I particually love my heirloom tomatoes my sweetie bought for me. My favorties are the red zebra, that is stripped red and green when ripe (very cool looking), and the abraham lincolns with the pointy chins. Not bad for a first time garden.
I never thought pulling weeds and digging in the dirt could be so much fun. I find it very rewarding and I love involving my kids. We should be ready to start harvesting in the next week or two. Now all I have to do is learn how use all this produce. I love these little challenges. It keeps my mind alive and I learn lots of new things.
