The seedlings

Well, there is nothing like learning you are wrong, and I have been given a lesson. The seeds I planted a couple of days ago are already coming up and I have realized that I too can make a mistake. My haste to get the seeds going and setting them in the sun definitely cooked them rather than giving them a boost.

The seedlings that are coming up are bush Blue Lake beans, cucumbers, lettuce, sugar snap peas and a few other Blue Lake pole beans. It is heartwarming to know I can get over a mistake with a replant.

After having my great nephew. Landon, over this past weekend, I think I will have his mama bring him over so that we can plant together. He is a great little boy and he loves vegetables. His mama and daddy don't spoil him and he is an absolute delight to be with. He eats like an adult and I am so in love with him.

To watch his delight at picking tomatoes and peppers was incredible. He loves coming to the garden and I love having him. We looked at the flowers on the tomato plants and I explained how they become the tomatoes he loves so much.

A garden like mine has produced about 180 pounds of vegetables this summer and we have months to go. If I had the 4 acre plot that someone I know has, this would equate to 50,000 pounds plus if the whole acreage was planted in these boxes.

That would make me a real farmer and I am debating the idea. It might not be as much fine if it was real work.
