Home Grown Love

Jesse and I learned on Sunday that our money is Gods money and he gives it to us to manage it. So if we are given this income to manage, then we need to invest it on things that will multiply. We decided that junk food isn't really a necessity and we should definately do more fruits and veggies and not so much processed foods. We also decided that since we DO eat all these veggies we should try and make them an investment. We decided to plant a garden this year and save a little on home grown produce.

I started with tomatoes, these will go into a pot when they are mature. Right now they are in this green house platter.

We then move onto broccoli and these, when ready, will go into the ground. We planted all these a little early because we can always keep them inside. And if they don't grow we will have time to replant.
We finished off with lettuce. I don't know how these will do. We also have green onion, jalepeno peppers, and bell peppers. The fruit from the peppers, depending on what we reap, will be frozen for use in the winter. The last 3 veggies will have to be planted closer to the summer because they have less of a germination and maturation period.
Here is a beautiful tree down the street from us with snow on it.

Great idea about planting a garden. I cannot wait to have a house so we can do stuff like this.
