Grow, My Pretties, Grow

Greg and I Love our garden this year! We have tried to no avail for the last three years to grow a nice garden. This year, after much hard work, I finally think we are seeing the fruits of our labors. Although, all may be in jeopardy because of one big, fat, hairy, squirrel. I'm going today to get a trap for him. He has already dug a nice hole by the foundation of the house and nibbled on three of our green bean plants. The war is on little buddy, and I have a feeling YOU are going to lose.....


Then again, maybe he is more prepared than I thought

Last, but certainly not least- Luscious strawberry plants



Yesterday we enjoyed our first pot of garden fresh peas and green beans. They were extra tender and super sweet
