we did it.
we 'pulled the trigger' and rye finally brought a rototiller from work.
me? a gardener? truth be told, i have NO idea what i am doing!
all i know, i learned from the Home and Garden channel (shocking). in all my excitement,i made the trek to True Vaule and went a tad bit crazy....26 plants and 35 packages of seeds!!! (i bet that would fill up all of our 3 acres!!) we've decided to give each of the kids their own 'green' space. they couldn't be happier. they were out there this afternoon, transplanting WEEDS. "since mom has these in her flower beds, they MUST be good enough to put into ours". i'm not sure what kind of weeds these are...small purple, white and yellow flowers. last year i kept a few,just cuz i thoguht they were so cute. now this year, they have invited all their friends and now we have a whole CITY full of these cute little weeds. :) (i guess i watered and fed them too well!)
again,
i'll keep you updated!

Holy huge garden! That's so great that the kids get their own spot. That is something my parents did for us and I always remember it. Mostly I remember how excited we were to plant, but we HATED getting out there to weed. But now I'm like you, I love weeding!
Traci, I just have to tell you Will came home so excited today off the bus. He had two small scrap pieces of paper folded up in his hand and he said "Jack, Mason and I traded phone numbers!" Sure enough each little piece of paper has a phone number. He said "Now we can call them to invite them over sometime". So cute!
that is TOO cute!! when i asked him, he was ALL smiles! we must do that....someday just have him ride home with jack. we would love that!! anytime! :)
will is one of those boys that i will ENCOURAGE jack to build a friendship with. a nice, nice little man!
Oooo, I'm super jealous! I've been begging Lance to let me tear up the backyard and grow my own produce department.
There's still hope for this year...we'll see if I can get it done!
Either way, if you planted Zucchini, here's the best recipe under the heavens for Pasta Fagioli:

i love the pictures of Jack! Traci you will love having your own garden...the food is way better...but I thought you guys didn't eat vegetables?? :-)
a few of us here LOVE veggies!
however, for a few of them, it's the novelity of a garden...not really the food that will be coming from it. i think they're mostly holding out for those watermelons!! :)
