Our Family Garden!

Ben's parents have been so kind to let us have our own garden space in there back yard, I have been wanting to have a garden for a long time my mom always has had a garden and I have missed that living hear in Vegas I've been in apartments for 10 1/2 years now and counting its getting really daunting so this is a nice break for me and Paige to get out of the apartment and go outside and water our plants and enjoy our bounty! I forgot to take photos of our artichoke plants sorry we just planted our sprouts but there starting to grow. I hope this helps anyone that would like have a garden hear in Las Vegas but thought you can't grow anything hear in Vegas. There are lot of places to get information about our growing season's there are different then most we have a spring and a fall season but you can have a winter garden if you do it like Ben and I.

And we need to by shad cloth for the summer. The first deep plot we just planted new gold potato's and more carrots.

Happy St Patricks Day!

Today has been a long day for me well this whole week has been long I guess. I have been nannying again for the past two weeks and man is my house a wreck. I never get home before 5pm most of the days and then I've got to make dinner and try to wash dishes, but I do have to say Ben has been a really big help. I can't wait to get home and make corn beef and cabbage with some Irish soda bread. I started making this when we had lots of friends and family that lived by us hear in Vegas but they all have graduated from collage and moved on. I hat being the one left be hind! Oh well I don't mind Vegas that much Ben's parent live hear and my parents and other family members are only an hour away. Oh I hear Paige up from her nap well happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope it's a good one.
