Spring Vegetables

I am so excited! This is the first year that I have grown early spring vegetables! Taylor came with me to the garden store to pick everything out, he was more excited than I was. He was telling everyone in the store that we are getting vegetable plants (to Taylor, we were the only people in the store buying plants!!) When we got home, Corbin and Taylor helped me put the seeds and plants in the garden. It was so fun, except for every two seconds I had to tell them - "don't touch that" "wait a second" "NO, don't step over there" "don't dump all the seeds in one place!" Now, I just hope it is not too cold for them, because in two months I want to enjoy Broccoli, Lettuce, Cabbage, snow peas, sugar snap peas, beets, and spinach!! BTW - I heard that vegetable seeds and plants are selling more than ever before - I wonder why?!
Has anyone ever tried growing any of these veggies? What was your outcome?


After planting the garden, we noticed our poor, little grill sitting there all winter, being neglected, sitting in the snow, with no delicous food to enjoy. We thought we would cheer it up with some steak!
Now, personally, I am not a big steak fan, but Justin did a great job with these and I am finding I like steak more and more the longer I am married to Justin! But you don't have to convince the boys to take a bite, they come running at the smell.
