Well, the garden is moving along quite smoothly for my first time.  Every time I visit it, I’m amazed at how big everything is getting.  The tomatoes are monstrous, and the bush beans are out of control!  The strawberries are being eaten before I can get to them.  Hopefully I’ll be putting a little chicken [...]

For the last two weeks Jeremy and I have been going out on Fridays after work for Date Night!  At Enrichment Night at church we were given the challenge to do “non-media” dates for a month.  It’s been a lot of fun so far!

It’s been a month since I planted the starts in the garden and just over two weeks since Jeremy and I planted corn, beans and carrots.  We’ve had really good success so far.  We lost three of our basil starts to the cooler weather.  The peppers are just now starting to grow a bit.  But [...]
