I am trying to ignore the weeding in my garden I need to do today. I’m still in my jammies reading a dieting book while watching “The Doctors” on T.V. talk about how we need to stop eating sweets and diet soda. Gosh, I thought diet soda was better than drinking sugary regular soda. But THE DOCTORS said it makes you crave sugary sweets. THAT must be my PROBLEM!! Stupid diet soda!!

| Cute gardening stuff…the hubs is working on a potting table for me.
So…..I guess I’ll go pick something HEALTHY out of my little vegetable garden. I have squash, zuchini, tomatoes, peppers, herbs and a pumpkin. That’s all I did this year. Other years I have done green beans and corn, but this year it’s just the two of us, so I’m going easy on myself! |

| Picking stuff from the garden the hubs snapped this very bad pic of me. 😀 |
 |
| Tomatoes growing in the cages…looks like a good crop this year. |
 |
| I cut a bunch up and made a 7 Layer Dip! |
 |
| It’s so rewarding to use stuff from your own veggie garden to make something for your own family, isn’t it? Yeah! IT IS! |

I always start the tomatoes out in a tomato cage. We’ve already gotten a few delicious tomatoes. Gotta have a BLT very soon!
 |
| yEllOw sQuAsH…very HEALTHY! |
 |
| GREEN zucchini – who doesn’t LOVE Zuchini Bread? |
This year I also planted some cucumbers. They really look alot like a zuchini plant. I usually can’t really tell one squash from the other plant till I get some of the veggies growing on them. Even the flowers looks similar to me!
 |
| cHiVeS – I love going to pick a few of these when I need them. They would be GREAT for an indoor garden….Hey! Great Idea! |
 |
| First Fruits (and veggies) of the harvest… |
 |
| My cucumbers are pretty good this year! I put one in a salad last night and it was delicious! Aren’t they so chubby and cute? |
We planted tomatoes, squash, zucchini, bell peppers in green and yellow, onions, and beans. Oh and the radishes my class did, I brought one home and replanted it. John got out all his tomato cages from the garage. And of course we had to fix like a GAZILLION sprinklers! What is up with those constantly breaking sprinkler heads? Don’t love those things.
 |
| We planted about 4 varieties and I think I still like “BETTER BOY” the very best. |
 |
| They always come in fast, they don’t split open like some varieties, and they are delicious too. |
We are lazy weeders. I just want it to look good and I want to have fresh veggies…… and beautiful things everywhere….but I don’t want to worry about it! I don’t ask for much do I?
 |
| The garden looks a WHOLE lot better here in the after picture… we’ve got tomatoes finally ripening too! |
 |
| It’s fun to see pay dirt on all our hard work….now it’s fun to go outside again! I think we figured out the secret….just to do a little bit every few days…it was discouraging at first….but seeing it get better over time…(and still a ways to go) has been very rewarding. And maybe…just maybe I’m not such a black thumb after all! |
