Our garden is finally growing!

SE corner. Silly me - I should have put what is growing! Thanks Ellie for asking! In the front is pumpkin and a couple other plants that I don't remember. Just behind that is nasturniums and a couple other things. Nephi and I made milk jug planters at cub scouts in May with a variety of seeds - and they are now in the garden. :) Off to the right and up is our tiny zucchini. They've been in the ground since the end of May and are now starting to take off. It's been so cold here. Going to the left is our two rows of tomatoes with carrots growing inbetween.
SW corner. The corner contains our lettuce variety and onions. Just on the west side of the tomato/carrot rows is eggplant. There are more tomatoes directly NE of the lettuce. Just above the lettuce/onions is our cucumbers.
NW corner. Corn and green beans. Mostly beans. The corn didn't all come up. And I just re-planted a couple rows of green beans. There should be plenty of time for them to do their thing.
NE corner. Corn. Good tasty corn. I can hardly wait!
As much of the garden as would fit in the camera. The tiger lilies got in the way. :)

Oh that looks so wonderful!!! Fingers crossed and good vibes and prayers sent for complete success. Now, though, you've got to tell us what's all growing in there. - ellie

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
