veggie tales

Since we've lived in a condo our whole married life

We haven't attempted the vegtable garden thing

But this year
Our stake presidency decided to do garden plots
On some land by our chruch that is owned by our last bishop

We signed up for one

Knowing nothing about veggie gardening

But we talked to Andrew's dad (a farm boy)

And decided to give it a shot

I read online that in Utah

You should have most things planted by May 15th

(one day after we got assigned our plot)

So we woke up early on Saturday the 15th 

And got our garden all planted

If all goes well we will have carrots, red onions,

2 kinds of peppers, 3 kinds of tomatoes

pickling cucumbers, and lots of peas!!

Andrew was most excited about planting corn

But apparently the die hard gardeners of our stake

Don't want any corn growers

Because they think the corn will shade their veggies

So we opted not to plant corn

And not to be the hated gardeners of the stake

I'm most excited about the cucumbers!!!!

I want to grow LOTS so I can make pickles with Granny B.

If I fail, I know she will have tons of cucumbers in her garden.

But if I succeed....I could have bottles and bottles

Of my VERY OWN pickles.

Andrew keeps planning to sabotage my cucumber plants.

Because he HATES pickles with a passion.

grow veggies grow!!!
