We finally had a break in the weather on Saturday which means we got to plant our garden. My daughter is the leading force in this project and she picked out all of these plants to get us started:
- Pineapple Sage
- Sage
- Chives
- Spicy Oregano
- Lemon Thyme
- Lemon Basil
- Borage
- Sweet Basil
- Sweet 100 Tomatoes
- Tomatillos
- Eggplant
- Eightball Zucchini
- “Vanilla” Marigolds
- Portofino Zucchini
- Lemon Cucumber
- Armenian Cucumber
- Purple Beauty Pepper
- Better Belle Pepper
- Mexibell Pepper
- Big Jim Pepper
- Anaheim Pepper
- Red Pepper
- Golden Summer Pepper
We will be planting more things this week. We have a good friend who is giving us several heirloom tomato plants, and we are also going to plant some seeds:
I just love seeing new life in our backyard!

I’m so excited to be able to eat fresh foods this summer!

Is anyone else out there growing a garden this year? Are you a newbie? Rejoining the garden movement after a long hiatus? (that’s me!) Or are you an old pro? What’s planted in your garden right now? These would all be great things to document on a Memory Monday!
