Almost Garden Time!!

Thankfully we have had some lovely warm weather this spring.  So I have been dreaming for months for a homegrown tomato.  I have had a garden for the past 2 years and I must say while it is hard work, it is clearly rewarding.  I am super excited because tomorrow Trent is tilling up my little patch of heaven.  So I need to be deciding what we'll be having this year! 

See I LOVE gardening:) Please ignore that I am in sweaty running clothes and whatever is on the floor we can't be beautiful all the time...or at least I can't, kudos to you if you are!
 
So here is the list thus far:
1.  Tomatoes - these are always a must especially for my father-in-law.  He practically makes himself ill on them every year.
2.  Cukes and Zukes!  Way better from the garden than the store (and I love saving the money)
3. Romaine Lettuce and Spinach - We eat a ton of salads around here
4.  Beans of some sort - Ol' girl still is a non beef-chicken-pork kind of girl so beans for sure!
5.  Peppers both bell and hot peppers
6.  Pumpkins - We have never had much luck but surely this year is our lucky year!
7.  Corn - This will be the first year and I would LOVE to try popcorn!  (thank you pinterest for the idea)
8.  Onions and Garlic 
9.  BASIL for homemade PESTO!!!  be still my heart!

So for now that is the plan.  I am sure there will be some added little lovelies along the way but for now those are the important ones!

Now if we can keep our sweet little pooch out of the garden...he LOVES ripe tomatoes:)
Happy Spring to you:)
xoxo
