hey all,

well after our nice little shower we just had it is now so stinking muggy here...and sticky...loved the rain though it came down so steady...the garden was loving it...i think my pumpkin that i just took a pic of yesterday is now twice the size...i can't believe how big it has gotten...i am so excited...i know my garden doesn't look like much, but i am so proud of it for being my first garden ever...even though the pumpkins are taking over everything..(as you can see in the pics)...my dh asked my what i want to do with the garden and i was like what do you mean...he just wanted to know if i wanted to make it bigger...i was like i dunno...i just suggested not planting as much next year...and to put the pumpkins off to the side by the fence...so we will have to see what happens...i guess i wouldn't mind go bigger, but that means more work involved and i was hoping to keep it the size that i have right now until i get a little bit more experienced with gardening...

my garden is coming along nicely!

i just wanted to share with everyone that my vegetable garden is coming along very well...i have sprouts coming up everywhere...i got pie pumpkins, jack be little's, and jack o lanterns, watermelons, tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, all popping up...yeah...so my patience is paying off...i can't wait til harvest time...

trying to keep cool here, but with no luck we are supposed to be hitting 92 degrees today and tommorrow...hot, hot, hot, although we should get a couple of storms tommorrow and wednesday...so i will not have to water as much, but i will today though...i am keeping comfy inside with the air on...
