Garden Update....

Well, our garden is going well...after a bit of a rocky start.  We have killed basically all of the seedlings...but luckily, we bought some plants from the OKC Farmer's Market, Lowe's, Wal-Mart, etc.  We have our first fruit (strawberries!) and they are so tiny!  Good thing is, they taste wonderful.  Hopefully I will get to eat more than one every few days!



Here are a couple of pics of the garden that Matt built for us - 3 raised beds, lots of tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, onions, and some other stuff that I can't remember.  We fenced off a portion of our yard and even have a compost bin...look at us being all home grown :)


Special thanks to Matt for doing all of the hard work (and to his mom Laura for helping him build the beds)...I do not have a green thumb but my hubby really does!

  2. It is called an ooze tube - basically you fill it with water once a week and it drips out water so you don't have to water until it's empty. We'll give you LOTS of pointers, you'll have to come see our setup sometime.
