yesterday afternoon, the boys got the first of our summer veggies into the backyard garden plot before last night's rain.we eat a lot of okra and tomatoes during the summer months and freeze just as much as we eat. so, this year, we decided to keep it simple and plant only our favorites. that means no beans or corn, limited squash and peppers, and just a few cucumbers. leaving lots of room for okra and tomatoes.
we might give watermelons one more try, and james said i could pick out a veggie of my own. i'm thinking spaghetti squash because it is a great alternative to pasta, but i'm tempted to choose some type of eggplant, based solely on the fact that i'd enjoy seeing a deep shade of purple growing in our garden.
