For my garden entry this year muskmelon,(or cantelope for those who don't know what muskmelon is ~ I didn't :) ), peppers and tomatoes made the pick. This plot was filled with weeds, overgrown gladiolas and hausta's. I started out with mere seeds and have watched in amazment as they have grown and grown. Jerome says all of the blossoms will be melons. I think there are hundreds, but he assures me they're not that many, but alot of friends at work are going to enjoy from our bounty.
Next up are peppers and tomatos. This little plot was also run over by weeds. It sits smack dab in the middle of our front yard about half way between the house and the road. We had a little starter help with these beauties. 2 different kind of tomatos are grown and 3 different kind of peppers. We are excited about harvesting these products of the soil. Being a city slicker all of my life, I love the idea of having my own garden, to plant good food to feed my family well. Potatos, beans, peas, as well as cucumbers, melons, tomatoes, peppers etc is a dream that we keep alive. We need to determine the best advantage point on the property for such a dream to become a reality. It's hard when you live on a hill, but where there is a will, there is a gracious and loving husband to help see my dream into a reality. :)
