LOL Naska – we just planted yesterday! And Terry, this garden is only 25 feet square. Many years ago we had a 75 foot x 125 foot plot of corn. Some was sweet corn, some was blue Indian corn. The blue corn had one plant that must have been 30 feet tall, it was quite a sight to see. I also have a new flower bed to plant – about 6 by 10 feet where we accidentally killed the grass. Maybe this summer I will post pics, if the weeds haven't won.

Ah, but the kiddos love love love digging in the dirt. As long as they only destroy weeds I am good!

I stared my own garden this year. So far I've built 2 12x12 raised garden beds and filled with top soil. Next week I'll pick about 12 different vegetables I want to grown. Before I plant I'll have a fence around it to keep the deer and other critters out.

16 years of experience and relearning.

I think they also have info on what varieties are best by where you live.

We like to go geocaching. 

Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using GPS-enabled devices and then share their experiences online. The container can be as small as a magnetic key holder or a film container or pill bottle, with only room for a log to sign, or larger with room for items to trade.  Once you sign the log book and rehide the cache, you also visit geocaching.com and log your find there, and the website keeps track of your finds.  Here is one we found – a cache container cleverly disguised as a rock. 

I also like scrapbooking, machine embroidery, and I have run/walked a few half marathons, although I'm down with a knee injury right now.

 

EDIT*Sorry my pictures didn't load.  Don't you just attach them as files?  I'll try and add them tonight after work.
