Generations of Green Thumbs

One of my favorite childhood memories with my grandparents was spending time in their gardens. I remember as a child picking peas and rhubarb from grandpa Olsen's garden, and I loved searching and eating raspberries out of Grandma Cash's garden. My mom also grew a garden when we were growing up. There is nothing like a sun warmed tomato out of the garden with a little salt and pepper. YUM! I also remember having carrots, huge sunflowers and a ton of pumpkins. So to keep up the green thumb, we decided to grow a garden this year. It won't compare to any of the ones I remember growing up with, but it is branching out for us. Shawn of course built this great planter box, darling don't you think? We will see what happens. We planted tomatoes, green bell peppers, Cerrano peppers (sp), lettuce, onions, cilantro, basil, and strawberries. Jack is very intorested in the dirt in the planter. I know I am going to turn around and he will have pulled out the plants, yikes. He is such a boy, loves to be in the dirt.
We also have planted a few flowers, I love the spring time, it is so beautiful!
