However, this spring I am back where I belong in Texas and enjoying the beautiful weather (even though today's high is 95 degrees, which I do prefer over snow and freezing temps). Along with this beautiful weather, the guy and I planted our 2013 garden and all we can say is we're going to have a lot of veggies. So...just to give you a good idea of why we will be up to our ears in corn and other veggies (hope you caught that pun) this is what we planted. We planted onions, beets, potatoes, swiss chard, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, bell peppers, four different kinds of tomatoes, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, zipper peas, sugar snap peas, pole snap beans, bush snap beans, lima beans, green beans, corn, okra and eventually will plant watermelons.
Now all we need is some much needed rain. Not only does our garden need rain, but the pastures, the rivers, the lakes, the aquifers, the crops, the cows ALL NEED RAIN. Pray for some March and April rain because God knows all the South Texas farmers and ranchers need the relief. Well... I will keep you updated on the garden project and hopefully we will have plenty of veggies to can for Christmas presents.
