Thursday Thirteen

This week I have been busy planting my summer vegetable garden. Here are thirteen things you might like to know about my garden.

1. Hubby fertilized the soil in the garden and turned it a few weeks ago to prepare it for my seedlings.
2. I started those seedlings at the very end of April and it is amazing how fast they grew!
3. We’ve been waiting until we had a day that was both dry, and past the chance of us having another frost.
4. Hopefully that is today.
5. I asked Hubby to rake the hills for me in the garden to help set out the plants. Happy Greta, also helped!



6. Although I love to garden, my vision is such that I need his help setting up the lines.
7. I got to “play” in the dirt, planting my garden for three hours.
8. Hubby helped me to put the tomato cages out.
9. We also put up tin pie plates to make noise and scare off the critters.
10. I planted, Japanese eggplants, zucchini, yellow squash (summer squash), butternut squash (winter squash), pickling cucumbers, slicing cucumbers, seedless cucumbers, green peppers and 7 more tomato plants.
11. Hubby then set about watering each of the plants. He is so helpful!
12. I came in and drank three glasses of water!
13. Thank goodness I made a cabbage casserole. I don’t have to make any dinner. It’s cooking in the oven all by itself!
