Growing up my family always had a garden! Last year we didn't get our act together soon enough to have a "real" one so this year I was sort of the ringleader about getting a good one started. Well, in my house being the ringleader usually means you have a bunch of work to do before everyone else joins you! So, my job started with turning the earth in our plot out back. This went on for several days and was no fun! One of the things I had to do was kill any snails I saw...well I was having no part of this so my Dad and I made a deal that I collected them and then would go inside and he would kill the snails. I really don't like the sound they make when the are smashed and feel a little bad about killing them. Look how many I found in just 30 mins outside.
After everything was ready we made a family trip to the nursery to get the plants and seeds we wanted.
Even the dog came along!
We got lots of yummy stuff (tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, eggplant, cilantro, basil, chives, Italian parsley, thyme, sage, rosemary, beans, and then headed home to plant.
Here are the pictures of Phase 1 of the Jamieson Family Garden!!!!
This is the chair my Dad set up towards the end in order to "supervise" the operation! He had had enough work and just wanted to watch! :) Thanks Dad!
