Gardening Again!

Finally after years and years it seems, I put in a vegetable garden.
Oh...what therapy. I do not need prozac or whatever the new calm
me down pill is this year, just give me some dirt and a shovel and
let me play.

I put in three different lettuces: romaine, endive and red leaf, 10 tomato
plants, 9 pepper plants...hot banana, cubanelle, orange and green; 10 pole beans,
three cukes, some green onions, radishes herbs: parsley, thyme, dill, oregano, basil,
rosemary and lavender.

In my Pumpkin Garden...I have no pumpkins:(...looked everywhere for seeds but couldn't find

any...so I put in acorn squash(2), butternut(2), eggplant(1), zuchini, crookneck and watermelon.

I tried something different...my kids raked leaves and never moved them so I put the pumpkin

garden in the leaves..nice mulch...we'll see how this goes.

I used a book called The Backyard Vegetable Factory by Duane Newcomb...published by Rodale Press in

1988. It is fabulous..has quite a few templates for gardens.
