Our vegetable garden

Every spring we plant a garden, generally around Good Friday the first seeds go in. This year since Ted was home he was able to get a start on the garden for us. The first couple of pepper plants got eaten by deer so Ted replaced them and left for India for his final trip. I joked with him that it was so nice of him to plant a garden for the deer. But surprisingly the plants were still alive when we returned. The corn that he put in didn't come in too well. It was really spotty. We attributed this to the seed that he used. We decided to stop by Kelly Seed in downtown Peoria for some corn seed that was coated with some special coating. So we went in and bought some seed. Of course while in there he eyed a garden seeder and since he didn't get anything for Father's day he thought that would be awesome to have as it would help him to plant the garden in straight rows. Of course now that he has this new seeder we had to buy some more seeds to plant. We laughed that gardening really isn't a money saver, it will take years to recoup the costs! But it is fun to see the stuff grow. Our garden is fairly weed free at the moment but just wait...the weeds will soon take over.
