Sowing the Seeds..

I actually made it out into the garden yesterday. I tried really hard not to get my foot dirty, which is difficult in tilled dirt! Mom, Dad and I pulled ourselves up by our boot straps and planted some pepper plants(many varieties), tomato plants, bush beans, squash, zucchini, climbing spinach and cucumbers. I will take pictures when they start sprouting and get settled in. We still will plant some different varieties of tomatoes, okra, corn, more beans, watermelon and cantaloupe. I am so excited!! Dad, bless him, tilled up some more soil last night. After getting some plants into the ground it was obvious that we could use some more space. I think that the corn and okra will go in the lower garden. We shall see.

Speaking of vegetables, I stopped by Burger's Market today. I grew up going to this place a bit off of the beaten path(Canton Road in Marietta). Mom has brought me a few cantaloupes from there lately. They are as sweet as candy! I stopped by today to pick up some more and couldn't resist the prettiest okra, squash, potatoes and of course the cantaloupes that I went for in the first place. Oh yeah, I also got bananas, grapes, and a beautiful tomato, all for a really reasonable price. We are having some friends over on Tuesday and I had been planning on grilling dinner. Now I think it might be my favorite meal of all time- fried okra, creamed corn, some potatoes and a sliced tomato on the side. Yes, I am southern and my mouth is already watering. I hope my friends like their veggies. If not, I will cook them another time and they will be all mine!!!! ( Insert slightly evil laugh here)

P.S. More photos soon. My camera battery died and takes a while to get back up.
