Gardening

Gary, the boys and I worked on putting in our vegetable garden yesterday. We planted carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkins, tomatoes, beets, radishes, beans, spinach, cucumbers and herbs. We still want to get some pepper plants and potato starts. I really don't know why we plant carrots - we've never ever gotten them to grow. I guess we're too stubborn to give up! Hopefully our yard now is better suited to a garden - it doesn't get a full blast of sun all day that the last house did. The back yard is actually quite nice in the evening. We have huge cottonwood trees behind our back fence that start shading the yard around 1 pm. So when it gets to be evening, it is nice and cool back there - at least 10 degrees cooler than the front yard. Last night we put Evan out on the grass on his gym in the shade while we worked and he happily played for a couple of hours (until he fell asleep). Come and visit and you can enjoy it too!
In other Jones Family news, Gary became a great-uncle this last week for the twelfth time! His niece Julia had a little boy. We're still waiting on a name. Congrats!
