How Does Your Garden Grow?

Last year I made my first attempt at planting some vegetables in our backyard.  As a person who normally kills plants off within a 24 hour time period, I was quite surprised when we actually got vegetables from the several plants we grew!

This year, I joined forces with two friends and we decided to all plant a bigger garden together.  We figure if it's a collaborative effort, there are several directions to try to point blame if everything dies!

We planted a crazy amount of fruit and veggies with the help of all of our kids...and now are fingers are crossed that we'll be eating fresh fruit and veggies, straight from the garden, as we head throughout the summer months.  But with my green thumb (or lack of one!), you never know!
