Garden Work

When I first started to mention to people and we were going to start a vegetable garden, we were met with a lot of skeptics. People would say "Oh really, well, a garden is a laaaat of work," spoken with the titled head and tone like a parent would say to a little kid that wants a puppy. In reality, I don't find the actual gardening part to be a tremendous amount of work. Rather, like most things, you get out what you put in. If your idea of a successful garden is a few squash and tomatos, then so be it - these guys will grow regardless of how much (or how little) you weed and feed them. If you want a bountiful harvest of a variety of veggies, it requires a bit more TLC. I think the part of the garden that requires the most actual work is the harvesting, preparing and eating. But that is the best part as well.

Our first harvest (Aside from lettuce):

PEAS!!!
