Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes

Abby and I spent a lazy Saturday morning working in the garden and yard. It was a beautiful cool morning, perfect for getting our hands a little dirty.

So while I mowed the lawn, Abby worked on our future bounty of tomatoes, brussel sprouts, broccoli, onions, and so much more! I bagged the grass and periodically brought it for use in the garden.

Rumor has it that laying grass down helps keeps the weeds down and moisture in! We got that advice from a very experienced gardener who we absolutely trust on these matters - since I readily admit to having a not-too-green thumb.

I decided to add a hummingbird feeder after watching dozens of bees use it instead of hummingbirds. I figure (probably wrongly - but I've no idea) that bees will help plants grow and germinate - or something like that.

We also have blackberry bushes growing. I look forward to getting some fresh berries later this Summer. And on the side of the house we have hot jalapenos and more tomatoes growing. I am VERY EXCITED for all those tomatoes!
