This entry is to show and document our gardening efforts. We started tilling the yard back in early March and finally planted our plants early April. We started with 10 tomato plants, 2 cherry tomatoes, 1 cucumber, 2 zucchinis, 2 hot peppers, 2 banana peppers, 3 basil, 3 cilantro, 2 oregano, 2 strawberries, 2 eggplants, and 1 watermelon plant. We figured with all of these plants some of them will survive
. We've already lost the cucumber plant which was a bummer because I love cucumber and I'm tired of getting them from Mexico. Hopefully some local ones will be hitting the supermarkets soon. We lost the watermelon plant, but I figured that was a longshot anyway. I thought one of the eggplants was gone, but it has made a comeback. It is still to small to see if it will make it. We have flea beetles that are eating holes in the eggplant and pepper plants so we'll see if we can get rid of those. Despite our 
set backs, the garden is wonderful. We go out there everyday to water it and prune any leaves that look wilted or poor. Harrison and Caitlin enjoy it too, hopefully they will have a greener thumb than their father and me. I can't wait to enjoy the fruits of our labor!!!
