Vegetables for the Vegetarian

Ever since I decided to bcome vegetarian (since December) we have been spending a lot more money on fresh veggies at the store. So, to save a little money we decided to put a small garden in our back yard. We tilled up about a 16 x 10 foot area in front of the swing set and planted a lot of seed and a couple plants. We really didn't expect a whole lot since we had never had a garden before, but to our surprise, it's doing pretty well!

This was one weekend Grandpa Keith was here and we dug up the yard. Everyone pitched in and it took us all day, but we got it measured, tilled, fertalized, planted, and watered. Now... we wait.

Then... seemingly overnight we had a TON of stuff come up. We have spinach (not doing so well thanks to the hail in it's younger days), leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, mixed greens (partly bolted due to early heat), squash, zucchini, baby tomatoes, peppers, peas, and corn! Oh... and rabbits and deer and weeds...
