Someting's Happening in the Garden

Corn. I never grew corn before but Seth's family does all the time so he requested it.










onion- I'm not really onion crazy but my in-laws gave me these onion sets and you do have to have some onions for flavah, so I'll grow these maybe, and then chop them up and freeze or dry them.











peas - I love peas so much. Also they smell pretty growing. Mine are wilt-resistent! So, bonus.











Butternut squash-I saw a recipe where you put butter and brown sugar in the squash and cook it and it made me want to try them. Otherwise I don't like squash, but I know you can make pumpkin-like pies with these if you don't want to eat them straight.








Pumpkins- I love novelties so much, so I got the enormous-competition-size-pumpkin seeds. Wouldn't it be SO COOL if a couple grew on the vine!!! Huge Enormous Pumpkins!!! It's like my dream come true.

So I planted all these seeds in the garden like three weeks ago and nothing has been coming up and nothing has been coming up. So like three days ago I started, duh, praying over the garden which I should have been doing all along, and voila! three days later here come all these crops popping out of the ground. I was so thrilled I called the kids out and made them examine each little sproutling. When Seth got home I made him come right out and examine each little sproutling. It's a pretty good miracle since all I did to prepare the soil was pick out most of the landscape rocks with which it was previously covered, and turned in the "compost" I had made during the whole last year of living in a townhome.
