(Fingers Crossed)

It is official...spring is around the corner. 50 degree temps outside, snow melting, walks to the cupcake store and the thought of wearing short sleeves has me excited for the spring. Since I'm talking about spring we'll probably have a huge snow storm this weekend but for now I'll be excited about the change in seasons.


For the first time in our married life my husband and I are 'attempting' to plant a garden full of the veggies that we normally consume. Green beans, peppers, tomatoes, carrots...... Since most of our married life has been spent in the desert we haven't been able to grow our own vegetables so this year will be a year to learn how to garden and hopefully (fingers crossed) we'll get some yummy veggies out of it. I have big plans for learning how to can and preserve vegetables so our garden is going to have to produce more than a handful of veggies to make this possible but (fingers crossed) this gardening thing wont be too difficult.


If you asked me if I had a green thumb I'd tell you 'heck no'. We've never had a green plant in our home the past 4 years and I nearly killed off the shrubs in the front yard when the drip system broke and it didn't cross my mind to water the plants....so....here goes nothing (fingers crossed)!


The hubby and I stopped at the local hardware store this past weekend to pick up the beginning of our gardening needs. Seeds, dirt pods, temporary indoor growing container -- let's get started! We're starting our seeds indoors as it allows for almost two additional months of growing time. Well transport the sprouted seeds (fingers crossed) outdoors come May.


Now we wait for a bit warmer temperatures to come and the seeds to grow (fingers crossed). In the meantime we'll get the outdoor garden ready for planting and dog proofed so that all our hard work (fingers crossed) doesn't become a snack to the 4 legged creatures in our family.

One day we'll get to enjoy all of this goodness (fingers crossed)!
