Garden Time is Here!

Ok, garden just got tilled and I am going to be a happy camper soon. I bought some plants, my Burpee & NK seeds, and onion sets. That is only the beginning, there will be lots more to be planted. I can hardly wait to get them in the ground and reap the harvest.
Once in the ground, I anxiously await for the first sprout. I run outside every day to see if anything has popped through the ground. What a glorious site, the first tiny sprout that is soon to be loaded with mouth watering vegetables and fruits.
My two dogs go out with me to tend to the garden every day, they act like they know what to look for. I have had them steal the cut up potatoes out of the hole that was dug for my potato plants. They look like they are laughing as they run away.
Now that the weather is warmer I am ready to plant, love getting my hands in the soil and the smell of the dirt. I really don't mind weeding until the humidity and heat get up high and of course the mosquito's tend to cause some problems. The best part of it all is the produce that I harvest and preserve for us. It gives me great joy knowing I helped to make our life a little more easier.
