The gardens they are a bloomin! I love this time of year, it is so much fun to watch our perennial gardens burst from the earth and reach to heaven; not to mention the crab apple trees bloom with all their white flowers....and the grass is never thicker and greener than in spring - unless your addiction to Starbucks can only be matched by your addiction to your sprinkler system.
This weekend all the family put on their garden gloves and planted the annual vegetable garden. Due to the recession, Sara made sure we added some additional items this year. This year's Mayfield Produce Department will be supplying: green beans, snap peas, strawberries, (4) cucumber plants, (3) types of tomatoes (Roma, Cherry, and Big Burthas - we can only imagine what those will look like), and cantaloupe.
Another fun spring project that we have been working out is clearing an area in the woods behind our house to build a fire pit. Last weekend Shawn went Lumberjack with the chainsaw and cleared out some rotted birch....and lots of buck thorn.
We keep the blog updated with produce updates as the summer moves along.....you never know when we will have another cherry tomato plant that grows to our gutters and produces 400+ tomatoes.
