How much water is too much water?

This weekend I did a little tiny bit of gardening with my roommate Kate. We put some marigold and lettuce seeds in the ground in our back yard. With no garden tools to speak of we used our hands to clear all the wood chips and weeds out of our beds, till up the soil a bit, create holes, drop in seeds, and cover em up! Hopfully the deer won't eat all of our lettuce this summer. Actually, I won't be eating any of our lettuce, either. It should be coming up while I'm in Arakansas with the farmers. I have no qualms about that.

Summer's here, ya'll!

What do you kids drink on that farm?

What do these farmers look like?

From Left to Right:
Mark (he will do occasional filming), Hailey (she started the project), Ben (yes he is wielding a machete), Seth (I wish I could remember what he was holding), Marie (that's me!), and Emilee (she's down front striking a pose).

And that's the gang, ya'll.

Where is all of this stuff?

This is the first draft of the "map" of our garden. Emilee has since drawn up a new one with everything filled in and tons more detail. The garden is 86 x 42 feet. The right side is the back of the garden, facing out toward the pasture. The left side of the drawing is the front side of our garden, and the top would be the left side of the garden, which faces the pond and Grandma Connie's House.

More on Grandma Connie later. WAW -What a woman!

What are we growing in our garden?

Sweet potatoes

Squash

Zucchini

Cucumbers

Yellow onions

Red onions

Some taters

Three different kinds of tomatoes

Three different kinds of beets

Sunflowers (red and yellow)

Rosemary (and some other herbs I'm forgetting)

Peanuts

Several different kinds of peppers

Plus things I've forgotten. Like - lettuce. I'm pretty sure we're growing lettuce.
