I am so proud.....of myself!

So I planted a bunch of seeds for veggies and herbs and stuff a while ago and I have been growing them in the house ever since. Well tonight I decided they were big enough to go into the garden!! My first REAL garden in my REAL yard! My husband purchased some brick border things last year that we never used so I convinced him to let me use them to border my garden. Then he helped me (ok he did most of the digging) remove all the sod and til the manure and top soil in. I was ready to start planting! I planted zucchini, acorn squash, butternut squash, grape tomatoes, beef steak tomatoes, candy onions, hot banana peppers, bell peppers, yellow tomatoes, basil, chives, tarragon, thyme, oregano and parsley. I stood on my back porch and looked at my planted garden for a good long while. Haha. I do realize that I am a complete dork for being so proud of planting a garden....but now that my kids can eat vegetables I am so excited to start feeding them to them. And I think it will feel so great to know that I grew the veggies I am feeding them...and myself.
