Us and our garden

One of the things I love doing when the weather gets warm is work outside beautifying our yard and planting a garden. There isn't much that is more rewarding that cooking and eating things you have grown yourself. The weather has finally started staying warm enough at night to be able to get our plants in the ground. We were so excited!!

We planted 5 tomato plants, 3 eggplant plants, 2 cucumbers a butternut squash, a pumpkin, some corn and some sweet pea plants. We have had rhubarb there for a couple of years. Thats only a handful of what is going to end up there and it doesn't even touch what we are also growing in the garden at my grandmas.

On top of the garden plants, We also bought a few trees. There were NO trees on the property when we bought it so we are slowly adding them. Last year we planted a maple in the front. This year we totally scored and got 2 apple trees for 30 bucks and a Japanese Maple and a flowering Hawthorn for 45. Very excited to say the least. Here is one of our little apple trees.
