Over the weekend we dug up most of our garden. Everything in it was planted before we moved in. I really had no desire to take on another project, but there were two huge bushes taking over our entire patio area and making Jake’s allergies go crazy; so they had to go.

Both our parents have gardens. In the following months they will be able to enjoy all kinds of fresh produce. And the worst part is that Jake and I don’t even live near by to help take all the extras off their hands. All this to say that, I wish I had a garden. I would even settle for an herb garden.
