What Else Is There to Do In Spring?


What else is there to do in Spring?

Why, plant a vegetable/herb garden, of course!

This was a pretty trashy side of the yard that really needed a face lift.

The twelve year old and I went out there a couple of weekends ago and remodelled it!

Now, I'm not saying that we did a particularly flashy job, but it sure beats the barren desert that was once there!

Plants include tomatoes (Mmmm...lots of tomatoes), lettuce, cauliflower, carrots (don't like their chances in the stone-filled soil but oh well!), parsley, basil, mint and (a certain boy's favourite) chocolate mint!

Naturally, they are all being watered with rain water from our new tank!

Fingers crossed that they grow!
