mmm........

the peas are on.....
This year was our first "real" garden. I grew quite a bit in pots in Moscow, but it has been fun to plant in our own little plot. Everyone is enjoying snap peas here, nothing wrong with peas for dinner right?! They are tasty and just right for little hands to pick. Noah chews on them for a while then spits the whole wad out, good flavor but a little fibrous for him I think :) Cody and I are already talking about expanding the garden next year. I planted just a few square feet of snap peas. I would sure like more, and more beans, and more carrots, just more... Behind Noah is what is left of the spinach, lettuce, and swiss chard. So sad, the plants started drooping, I figured it was water, so I watered more. When I finally pulled one up the roots were nearly gone, stinkin' ants. I hate those bugs, they are everywhere, they got most of my beets too. So now there's some butternut squash growing there. Maybe next year I'll have some salad, anyone have ideas for ants? And I must say I was quite pessimistic about Cody's grown from seed tomatoes, they weren't hardened off slow enough and most of them bit the dust, but we have five plants that look awesome, I hope we get a ton of tomatoes. So fun!
