In an attempt to Go Green, we have created our Williamson garden. Jason and I both remember our childhood's spending our summers in the gardens with our grandparents. I remember going out at 8am with grandma to the garden to pick cucumbers or to snap the beans. Grandpa loved his garden and at the time I thought this was so silly, I should be at DisneyLand, but I think all of those memories are much more memorable. But don't tell my parents....Jason and I started a small garden last year with tomatoes and cucumbers but with not much success. We also had thyme, oregano, and basil planted. We did so well with it, I wanted to package it up and give it to family for Christmas. When we found our house and fell in love with the inside we also fell in love with the outside and the overgrown garden. To most people it would be a disaster but for Jason and I it was a diamond in the rough. We knew that the couple who had the house before put in great soil andplants grew there before. We knew we would be guaranteed crops.
We started seeding in February and moved everything to the garden in late March.
The garden contains onions, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, peppers, bean, peas, potatoes, beets, and who knows what else. The fencing is what was there when we bought the house. We are researching the best way to make it up to the Williamson standards.
We ran out of room so we created an above ground garden box. Our soil (iron ore) is terrible is we didn't want to mess with it.
This was the children's sand box but I moved in and made it my herb garden. We have flowers, Aggie Bonnets, basil, oregano, parsley, thyme, mint, lavender, dill, and chives.
The herb garden sits right outside the kitchen doors. A great Saturday morning sight.
The reason for our weekend madness. He is getting so big!!!
My beautiful white flowered plant from dad. ( I forgot the name of it) and my sunflowers in the background.
The garden! We just picked 2 banana peppers out. Next week we should be able to pick from our choice of 6 different tomatoes. The squash should be next to come out. They have blooms already!

Our 1st Christmas in our new house with our family. This is a great pic of us with my mom and dad. Aren't they cute?
Jason and I at an Aggie game. He has become an Aggie by marriage. I don't think he really had a choice. WHOOP!!! Look how close we were to the field!
Remi wants beer!!!! Look at that sad face.
