Veggie Garden





We're giving it a shot this year, so we'll see if she grows. We figure it will save us a TON of money if everything grows.

My grandpa Billau always has a vegetable garden and when I used to stay with them in the summers growing up, I always thought it was so cool. So I knew that when I had my own house, I wanted to keep up the tradition and plant my very own garden. Thanks grandpa for the inspiration and everything you taught me (even if you thought I wasn't paying attention). Every time I go out there to tend or to water, I think of him and am reminded, again, what a great childhood I had and what a great experience my grandparents gave me when I would stay with them. I love them so much.

We planted: Corn, green beans, lettuce, green and yellow bell peppers, jalapeno, big boy tomatoes, sweet 100 tomatoes, cucumber, squash, strawberries, chives, basil, parsley, chives and cilantro...

This is awesome! I was just researching gardens on the internet today. I am trying to do a roof garden this summer. We'll see how it all works out! :)
