Mary Mary Quite Contrary

I don't think we've ever had a more rainy Spring, but it has done wonders for the green things in the ground - I love watching for new growth each day, especially from the newly planted garden. We planted 2 weeks ago - using seeds for everything except tomatoes and green peppers. And thanks to the rain, I haven't had to water a bit! The seeds we planted are: spaghetti squash, watermelon, zucchini, crookneck, butternut, lots of green beans and beets, peas, strawberries, onions, 4 types of lettuce, jalapenos, cilantro, several different herbs.....can't think of anything else - oh yeah, carrots.
Also, last week we took advantage of a friend's free offer of a kitten. We named him Sprite - he's 2 months old and still an adorable cat. I haven't been able to get a good picture because he won't sit still,but I'll include the silly one of him climbing on a bike. To any friends who might have cat allergies - he's not an indoor cat :) He sleeps in odd places in the garage...preferring the engine of the car and shelves to his comfy bed that we made him.
I guess that's all - I'm going to attempt to add some pictures now....this is why I don't blog very often. I really need someone to sit down with me and show me the basics.

ONE MORE THING - PLEASE POST PICS OF YOUR GARDENS _ I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE!! :)

I've got the gardening bug....now when is that last frost?

So I realized that I can post something and not have to post pictures....that's usually why I blog - I have pics to share - but not today. :) A week and a half ago, Dave and I visited Lowe's and found this book on Square Foot Gardening. Long story short......we now have 6 nicely put together (thanks Dave) and painted (thanks Cori and Megan) 4X4 wooden boxes to start our garden in. We've had a garden every summer since we've been married, but neither one of us enjoys weeds. This method mostly does away with weeds and to make it even more inticing - you never have to till the ground again!!!! I will post more later with pics - I just had to share my enthusiasm with you all.
