This is a picture of our lovely garden! I carefully chose what kind of vegetables I wanted to grow this year and then carefully chose the varieties! Then Doug tilled the ground til it was just right for planting. He waters it faithfully every night unless there is rain. He also checks for weeds every time he is out there! It is doing beautifully! We have already enjoyed the taste of fresh spinach and lettuce salads.

Then last night as I was getting ready to cook dinner I heard hem say "I can't believe it". He was looking out the window at the garden. "What?" I asked. "Look out there in the garden" he said. So I looked and much to my surprise I saw Peter Cottontail munching merrily away on our lettuces! I went out to get his picture and the little guy just looked at me and smiled! Then he hopped away, probably to eat the neighbors beans!

Doug said he has been living in our raspberry patch. I am going to have to keep my eye on him! I hope he doesn't decide to bring his aunts, uncles, and cousins!
Does anybody need any lettuce or spinach?
