Parry, Parry, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

Since we are in our very first home and we live in the south, we planted our very first garden this spring. Well, Parrish planted the garden, while I supervised, read US Weekly, and probably ate a snack. He did a great job. Hopefully this summer we'll have corn, zipper peas, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, watermelon and cantaloupe.


Parrish used techniques learned from his grandfather, Pa Pa. He mentioned something about starting a compost pile, but I'm going to have to look into that since I will actually have to put stuff in it instead of in the trash. I guess all boys really just want to play in the dirt.

We also planted a lot of plants to attract butterflies and hummingbirds into the yard. None to report as of yet, but I'll keep you posted.







I have a small herb garden on the front porch that I watch over, as well as some moon plants that will only bloom at night. They are beautiful!

Baby news: I am going next Tuesday to the doctor for another check up. They'll check the heartbeat and my vitals (and weight gain...ugh). My belly is certainly looking the part these days, but it also could be my very healthy appetite and addiction to jelly beans.

Darn Easter bunny.
