Garden

This year we decided to try our hand at gardening.  It's been something I've wanted to do for quite some time but we have very little yard space.  A former teacher at Warren that Jon stays in touch with was generous enough to let us use his garden.  He's retired and his wife and him only plant a few tomato plants so they said we could have the rest of the garden.  We've learned a lot from them as well about gardening and what works best.  They've been a great help and we're very fortunate for their advice and garden space.  Jackson is so excited to see everything growing!  We planted tomatoes, cherry tomatoes (Jackson LOVES tomatoes!), peppers, zucchini, green beans, carrots, and Jon's pick, cantaloupe!  So far everything is doing great EXCEPT the cantaloupe.  We have heard it comes in late but Jon is getting sad.  I hope we see some of them vining soon for his sake!  Here are just a few picks of our garden.  We'll keep you posted on our successes and failures!  Should be interesting since we're rookies.

Jackson painted signs that Jon made so we could tell what veggies were in each row.

They turned out so cute and he had fun painting!
