el jardin de isa



it's garden time around here! and the goose is definately getting in on the action. she's actually quite helpful at times, and atleast amusing at other times! we are later than most getting our garden in, but being that the temperatures have yet to get into the 70s and it's still freezing regularly at night, we figured there wasn't much rush. we are actually sharing a garden this year with our neighbors lee and sam. being that we basically share a backyard, it made alot of sense. we have the yard, they have the time (and no kids!)-- a good combo for everyone.

so, that's what we've spent most of our time doing this weekend. enjoying being outside and getting the garden planted. so far we have tomatoes, several kinds of peppers, eggplants, melons, onions, spinach, salad mix, basil, and cilantro in the ground. tomorrow will be pumpkins, carrots, green onions, peas, beans, corn, squash, and some more herbs. not too shabby, assuming we can keep it all alive!

I LOVE it!! A girl after my own heart! Rubes has been "helping" too! Nothin' like a dirty toddler at the end of a productive day! =)

yes, isa got her fair share of dirtiness today. though i clearly was no thinking when i put an off-white jacket on her. doh.

there will be lots of follow up pics to come, in a few weeks we should have alot to show! in the meantime, it still alot of fun for isa and her "shobel".
