Summer Garden

We finally got our summer garden patch planted yesterday.  Every time we have tried something has happened. Elijah was so excited.  He is really into planting this year.  He has always loved to play in the dirt--what child doesn't.  Sarah was not impressed.  She was in her walker to keep her from eating the dirt and she did not think that was fair!  We planted tomatoes, strawberries(in a container), peppers, watermelon, cucumbers, lettuce, and carrots.  We also got pumpkins, but will wait a little bit to plant them so they ripen closer to fall.  Last year our pumpkins were ready in Aug.  Today it is lightly raining, so perfect timing!  The first thing Elijah did this morning was to jump up out of bed and run to the back porch to see if the plants were growing.  He said they were.  He was so cute.
