Finished.

We finished planting the garden yesterday. That is such a relief. Now we should have about two weeks (?) of just waiting before the little sprouts (and the weeds) start coming up. I can't believe we got it all done in one day, but I was amazed at how much the three big kids did. They really worked hard. And Mark was the tilling machine. He even got the soaker hoses in and our well pump fixed. Someone, (whose name starts with a M and ends with an ATT) accidentally dropped the hose pipey thing that is crucial to the well pump working down INTO the well, so that had to be fixed. I did most of the planting with help from the kiddos. Even Little James planted a few seeds of corn. He mostly entertained us by playing with his dump truck in the dirt though.

Can I tell you I am loving George the rabbit? I told Mark we better get our baby soon or I might end up with a whole bunch of rabbits to take care of. Instead of the crazy cat lady I would be the crazy rabbit lady. I made sure to take plenty of rest breaks to play with him. Mark says that George is the salted peanut of the animal kingdom and sure enough we had a hawk flying around yesterday.

I am putting up a garden page in my sidebar if anyone is interested in what we planted. I also want to record our harvest and how much I can and freeze this summer. It should be interesting to see how it all works out.
