mary, mary, quite contrary..... how does your garden grow???

ooooooooooooohhhhh......
I LOVE spring! This year we will be taking full advantage of our giant backyard to have a garden!! I've always wanted to grow my own veggies and herbs, but its so difficult when you are doing apartment living! Thanks to our WONDERFUL sun porch, I will be able to start some of my plants indoors and keep fresh herbs around all year!

YIPPPPEEEEE!!!!

What are your favorite veggies to grow in your garden?

Some that caught my eye:

Gah! I just can't get over how well this day has gone! Definitely a good birthday! Woke up at 7 (yea I know, little early but I've really started to enjoy early mornings!), gave the boys some breakfast, made myself a cup of coffee and had a super yummy turtle brownie!! The boys even went down for a nap at like 10 so I was able to have a couple of hours to crochet and order some new yarn *yay!*

Ohhhhh! It feels so good to wake up in the morning in our new house!
