My Garden

This story starts about a two months ago... Mom and I went to Wal-Mart and she got us some seeds so that we could plant gardens at our home. With phone calls all during the week we would update on how our little sprouts were doing. Then they got big enough to put in the ground. We have been updating each other with our success ever since.

Every day after work I go home, change clothes and go straight to my garden. It is my stress reliever, and my relaxer. It's how I escape from the world for 20 minutes of my day, and everything seems to go back to the good ole days.

Since Cody and I are renting our current home I cant exactly till up the land and plant my plants. So instead I bought a couple of big pots and my dad made me an awesome planter. Surprisingly all of my plants are doing amazing!

I started everything from seed and have nourished them to the big vegetable producing plants they are today. Well only one of my plants have actually given me food, but they are all blooming. :]

Yesterday I went home and did my usual, but this time when I got to the garden I noticed a pea was ready to be eaten! I was so excited that I picked it right away and ran back in the house so I could take a picture of it. I was so thrilled to think that all my hard work had payed off.

So I grabbed my phone, because of course the person who I wanted to tell the most was my mom who helped me start this thing in the first place. I took 10 pictures and sent two of them to mom. Then I made the hubby eat one of the two peas that produced.

I told him he had to eat it because it was our first produce! So after him telling me "no"(15 or more times) I gave the puppy dog face and, he of course gave in and ate it! He held back this awful expression, and said "baby I think you are supposed to cook those before you eat them." I laughed and told him that me and my daddy always ate everything raw. Vegetables were lucky if they even made it in the house back then. I thank the hubby for eating that raw pea for me. :]
