It's In!

Well, we finally were able to get some of the garden planted! I was wondering if it was ever going to happen this year! Can you believe we had a few inches of snow on the 25th of May? New record for the latest snow fall! I have been very anxious in getting things going. I absolutely loved watching things come to life last year and have had the "itch" of doing it all over again. We planted several different varieties of tomatoes, peppers, carrots, lettuce, onions, cucumbers, herbs, peas, and bush beans. When I was at the nursery, I came across a habanero pepper plant. Adam has watched people on television eat them whole, and thinks it is the funniest thing as their face starts to get red and sweaty and they almost die! He thinks they wouldn't have the same effect on him since he really likes hot things. So... I bought one so he can try it! When they are ready to harvest, I will have to post more pictures! I can't wait! I think I will be the one laughing! :)
I planted a few rows of peas. I was hoping to make a few more boxes this year but things just didn't turn out! I decided to do with what I had.
Grandpa and Grandma Heaton brought up some onion starts when they came for Kaitlyn's baptism. I think the cool weather nipped the tops but they have come back and look really good now.

You never cease to amaze me. The only green I have in me is the fact that I am green with envy that you have a green thumb! (if that makes any sense!)
