I'm home again!!!! (At least for a little while)

FIL's surgery went really well, I stayed for his recovery and to take him to a couple medical appointments and headed home May 2.  It was nice to be able to be home for my birthday!!!!

Before I came home, Todd was home by himself over a weekend and planted my tomato plants for me.  I wasn't very excited, mainly because he has so many more important projects that need to be done in the house, but also because I wanted to do them myself so I knew what plants are what.  I had two kinds of seeds (sent to me from Simens, who I wrote a couple testimonials for last year) I planted on a flat, it was easy to see that each half had one kind of seeds.  But when he planted them, he THOUGHT he kept them separate, but he can't explain to me what is what.  (grrr)  Anyway, what's done is done and they are growing.  We'll see how long it will be before they get tomatoes on them.   Right after I got home, I did go get some lettuce seeds (two different varieties) and Todd wanted Radishes, so those were planted right away.  I also had seeds that were sent to me for Green Beans and Cucumbers, so those I planted last week.  Everything's coming up already!!!  I can't wait for home grown produce again!!!!

Todd is getting anxious for tomatoes, so I went to Home Depot last night and bought some bigger plants, so hopefully we won't have to wait so long to pick some.  I planted them today, and finally decided to take some pictures to update my blog!

YAY!!!!  Garden is started!!!!!


Tomatoes and Lettuce:


Tomatoes and Radishes:


More Tomatoes and the 2nd variety of Lettuce:


Green Beans:


Also Green Beans:



And finally - Cucumbers:

I planted two containers of these, but only one container is showing up for now.  Crossing my fingers that the others start showing up soon.

And I cheated last night when I bought more tomato plants - I found one that already has a tomato on it!  lol



Anyway, I'm hoping to be home for a while.  We have a short trip to Las Vegas planned in June, then Megan and her family will be here for a few days.  They are moving back to Kansas from Hawaii - YAY!  We're anxious to meet their newest addition, Hudson.  He was born March 9.  We've seen lots of pictures, but it will be nice to see them all in person.  The bad news is David will be going to Afghanistan later in the year.  But at least Megan will be much closer to family while he's gone.

I'll try to get more posts done.  So keep checking back!!!
