gardening

i have decided to do some gardening this year. (even though my sister and i are still trying to overcome the terrible memories of having to weed for hours on end in the blazing sun as children. just kidding, mom and dad.)

so i have started my plants inside since the winter seems to be dragging on a bit this year. i am probably a little ambitious but i have quite a few different things i've decided to grow. philip has built me a planter box and may have to build another if all the plants choose to sprout.

i have planted lemon cucumbers, pear tomatoes, ground cherries, bok choy, regular tomatoes, spaghetti squash, patty pans, some herbs, pumpkins, and watermelon.

i looked at my plantings today and i have signs of life. my cucumbers, ground cherries, and bok choy have lifted their heads above the dirt. now i just need to keep them alive till it stops frosting. hopefully, that will be soon.

it is so cool to see these plants break thru the soil and show their lovely greenness. can't wait to get them in the ground and watch them get bigger and then taste their fruit. i will keep you up to date on their progress.
