Planting the garden

Tuesday after my interview we decided to go ahead and plant our garden at mom's house. WE didn't do it at my house because our ground is solid rock!!! For weeks we have been nurturing seeds that we had planted in little dixie cups and they were finally ready to be planted in the yard. Lucas and Alexis were both so excited that it was time to plant the seed in the garden because Alexis had picked out some watermelon and pumpkin seeds that she was anxious to get planted in the ground and ready to see them grow. Most of their time was spent just playing in the sand, however Alexis did help out with coving the seeds occasionally. They were both so funny though playing in the dirt and they will be even more excited once the plants start producing vegetables. We ended up planting a lot bigger of a garden than we did last year. We planted, okra, tomatoes(like 3 differnt kinds), bell peppers, bannana peppers, jalepenos, lettuce, green beans, cucumbers, cantaloup, garlic, onion, watermelon, pumpkin, cilantro and a few other herbs. Hopefully our garden will produce as much as it did last year or maybe even more.
