Green Thumb

 This year we are trying to grow our own vegetables, herbs and fruit. Since we are renting we dont want to build a garden to only dig it up later so we are doing container garden. I have started one strawberry plant, 3 different types of tomatoes plants, 1 orange and 1 red bell pepper plants, basil plant, parsley plant and then 1 zucchini squash plant. I figured I would start off with a few and see if I can actually grow things or kill them. We are doing organic and I am only using the soap stuff to help keep bugs away. They are growing so fast. They are on our front stoop and get tons of morning sun. I have already used the herbs and are awaiting my first piece of food. Wish me luck and if this works I will have to expand my list of plants.

Well after this years summer heat my veggies didnt do too well. I couldnt keep up with the watering and keeping them healthy. I will try again next year in a different location. I did get a few tomatoes but not enough to really do anything with. 

Nana and Pa visit

It has been over 7 months since my parents came from Indiana to visit us. I dont know who was more excited me or my son about their visit. Ben took to them right away and didnt have to warm up. He played and played with his Nana and Pa and really enjoyed their special time together.
