i have been searching for indian corn seeds since like late april and couldn't find any. so i thought i was out of luck. well lo and behold i found some indian corn plants at our local walmart. i was so excited and bought 4 of them last night. i got two planted today. the other 2 will have to wait until hubby gets home. i couldn't dig into our clay dirt around here...it totally sucks to have clay. so anyways i was thrilled to have found it and had to share.

so i actually finished planting my garden. it took me long enough too. i really don't know what i am doing either. this is my first vegetable garden and here is what i planted tonight. sweet corn, broccoli, cucumbers, carrots, jack be little, pie, & jack o' lantern pumpkins, watermelon, roma tomatoes, green & jalapeno peppers, gourds, green onions...i am pretty sure that is all...hopefully they all will grow...if not, live and learn i guess...i also have already planted a couple of strawberry plants, & my aspargus is growing well...

i attempted to weed my garden around noon today and boy let me tell you it is too flipping hot out there and those pesky little deer flies annoy the crap out of you. Dive bombing your face. uuuugggghhh! they get me when i am mowing too. i can't stand them. so anyways i will try and weed some more when it gets cooler tonight. my little one has gymnastics tonight at 6pm and then both girls have swimming lessons and that will end at 7:30pm so i will get home around 8pm tonight and i will try my best to get some weeds pulled. for now i will get some much needed laundry done and try and stay cooler in the house.

hey all,

this is my first attempt at having a vegetable garden. so far i got some asparagus planted and they are about a ft. tall. woo hoo...my first succesful planting. although i have to wait a couple of years to eat them. it should be worth the wait though. i will have to get a picture of them and show you all.
