Garden Update

After much worry and anticipation, the garden is growing. I am excited. It is neat to go out and see the plants and how much they grow each day. I am not excited about the weeding. I have weeded more in the last few weeks then I have in the last few years. It is worth it to see the plants growing! Their is tons of spinach and it continues to grow. If you want spinach, let me know, I have tons!!
