Hot summer.....

Here it is, 3 weeks until my birthday. I can't believe that it is so late in the year already. It seems like we are going to have Christmas again before we know it! Well with all the posts about my garden this spring, I think it fitting to write about the progress of the said garden. While I do have pictures in the camera of the garden, I write at work so I will have to post those later.

The garden has do amazingly well in my opinion. I have some ideas to make it even better next year, but for a first time gig, or at least the first successful garden, it is growing nicely. I think we should have corn before freezing. I have a million green tomatos growing, and some of them are pretty good sized. I have a whole bed of peppers that are growing nicely, and I have even harvested an Anhiem pepper that we had for breakfast. There is a nice bed of herbs growing as well. The carrots, green beans, and peas are all hurting right now. I did not stake or trellis them at all and they are kinda haywire. My zucchini and cucumbers are growing like crazy too. I think I have eaten zucchini at least every other day this past week with no end in sight.

On to other things. Beside my garden, my kids are also growing like weeds. I have been informed that Noah took is first steps without assistance or without encoragement today. I can't believe how grown up that child is. He has a way about him that just make Josh and I laugh. Eli is such a good big brother. While he has his moments, he also is remarkably patient when it comes to Noah. I can't wait for them to be a little older, and hopefully I can homeschool them. Noah learns so much from his brother right now, I can only imagine how much they can learn together.
