Summer


















Ok so Iam finally putting out another post. A few weeks ago I was so excited that I finally sat down and figured out the whole blog thing. Now I just need to get in the habit of posting new ones. I love reading everyone elses, I forget about mine. Sooo I thought I would post my latest experience.
I was able to do a box garden this summer, (thanks again Jane for your boxes) it has been so fun! It was one of my new "stay at home mom" goals. We planted 2 kinds tomatoes, banana peppers, green peppers, squash, cucumbers, corn and thyme. It started off well and looked amazing. Then it got really hot and I tried watering it by hand a couple times a day. Towards the end of the summer I looked at my corn and realized that I had only 2 midget corns and the rest just didnt finish growing. So I evaluated my sprinkers and realized that the boxes werent getting enough water for the corn to thrive. For some reason the others didnt need as much water and did great. My goal this winter is to do some farmer research and have a better garden next year.
