Not my green thumb.

So our family(John and the kids)are back into the throws of "garden Saturday." Every Saturday there is something to do in the garden. We have a container garden because the soil in Arizona is very difficult, and that's being nice. John has plants to plant, watering, fertilizing, trimming, thinning and basic ooohhhing and aaahhhing over the great new blossoms and developing buds of yummy goodness.





I enjoy it because I do virtually nothing but enjoy the labors and get to eat what is produced. I like watching the plants grow and I find the plants quite beautiful actually. Pictured above are broccoli, romaine lettuce, butter crunch lettuce and glimpses of onion stalks. I have one word...YUM!

So the garden begins...

If you follow my blog or on facebook, you'll know that last winter we planted a "container garden." Well, we were so pleased with the results that we decided to get rid of the grass that the old one was sitting on and utilize the space better for the upgraded garden.

Now, the grass is gone on that side of the yard, the rock and step stones got laid, the containers are set, the drip system is ready and waiting for...plants and seeds.

In Arizona, we have to wait until after October 15 to start planting, it's still just too hot. We almost couldn't wait until it was time. John went and got some new plants; peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, and broccoli. And they are now planted. More will be added hopefully each week. Yeah, in a few short weeks we hope to be enjoying fresh veggies to add to our meals. And after that, come on over because there's always some to share!
