Country Living, Having More...

Today, Don began digging up the area that part of our garden will grow. This is a 20foot x20 foot plot of ground and here will grow all different types of seeds. The garden will extend forward towards the road, running parrallel to the house.

It's going to be exciting to watch our garden grow from "nothing" to "something"!

Thursday night, Don filled up all of the water bottle cups and loading them with all different types of seeds: two type of tomato (roma tomato and ugly (heirloom) tomatoes), peppers, and cucumbers. He will let them sit inside for awhile until the time is "ripe" to move them outdoors.

Five days ago we started with "the water bottles" (see photo). Don had been collecting them for a while. In times past, whenever we'd be finished with them we'd just put them aside for recycling but now they have found their new purpose. They have become the "houses" to part of the beginning of our new garden.
