The Garden

I have been told, here in Pennsylvania, you should always plant on or about May 20th; well, that's what the "old timers" say anyway. While Hannah was at piano, I went to the nursery (Liniks in Finleyville) and bought my garden plants. I had to buy them this year because got a late start on planting. I did buy seeds this year from a heirloom seed company, but I didn't realize I should have bought them in early March to start them inside...so I had to buy starter plants.

Hannah and I had a great time planting, yesterday. The boys helped too. We planted 3 different tomatoes, zucchini, 3 different kind of cucumbers, 2 slicing kind and 1 pickling kind, 3 different kind of lettuce, strawberries, green beans, peas, sugar snap peas and beets. The kids planted pumpkin seeds on a mound at the other end of the yard. Today Ben and I will be planting parsley, basil, dill, thyme, rosemary, chamomile, lavender, and a black raspberry plant.

I love gardening!
