The garden has been planted!

With the hope that Jack Frost is on vacation until the fall, we have planted our small vegetable garden today.

We transplanted cherry tomatoes and hot peppers that we started from seed. We planted seeds for beets, scarlet runner beans, winter squash, carrots and several herbs.

Anna was a great help in the garden all weekend.

Here is Anna next to the tomatoes she planted:


Here is a picture of a very fragile hot pepper plant. I really hope it stays warm!


Here is Anna playing in the grass (mostly weeds actually) in front of mom's flower garden:




And finally, here is Anna resting well on our deck after a day's hard work in the garden:


It was a great day for planting. Let's hope that we can feed ourselves out of this garden and not just the neighborhood gophers!

Happy Mother's Day!

We made Alana a double-layer chocolate cake this year for Mother's Day. Yummy!


Nothing like smarties and sprinkles for decorations!
