We. Don't. Need. A. Larger. Garden.

When I look at our garden...

Which doesn't quite go the fence in the background, but almooooost...I don't think: "We need a larger garden". Nope.

Doug does. He was out planting seeds the other night...but I couldn't see him in our garden. He proudly pointed out the "new garden" today. Planted with all kinds of ornamental gourds, corn, etc.


"It's only 25 feet by 25 feet," he said, "very small." Did I mention that he has also taken over the base of the children's play area:

As a place to grow beans? Since the trellis shape is already there, why not? And in his favor, it will make a fun retreat in July and August from the sun.


I can imagine how fun it will be to play in there for the kids. Truly, though, I wonder how much (or how little, rather) of our yard will not be garden by the time Doug is through "getting enough space" for everything he wants to plant.

  1. Man, Doug really wants to be a farmer, doesn't he? At least you'll have plenty to eat this fall!

  2. What the heck are you going to do with all that food?! I'm all for canning but...it's nice to do other things to. Like sleep...
