spring

The best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.
~George Bernard Shaw, 1932

this was what the corner of our back yard looked like last weekend:

here is J building the frame for the garden:

now we have this!

learning how to plant onions:

J is going to build me a shelf in that corner of the fence 
so that i can get my potted herbs off the ground:

corn, tomatoes, onions, carrots
jalapenos, cayenne peppers, banana peppers, bell peppers
some sort of crazy hot jamaican habanero that jake picked out
(package: "handle with gloves")
squash, watermelon, and pumpkin vines to grow around the outside.

wish us luck!

God, you just reminded me of something important. Senør leaves his rabbit run around at all hours, and we saw him in the garden the other day... i am planting late for here, and didn't even think that that darn thing would eat whatever came up, omg. I'm going to have 800 bucks in wire come years end!
