Big Green Egg

The newest addition to our family is the Big Green Egg that Drew got for his birthday from his wonderful family.  This will give him his next project of learning how to use the thing.

First Meal

We just had our first meal of the season with food from the garden.  Taco salad with freshly picked lettuce and some of the salsa we canned in the previous year.

It’s Alive

We are starting to get excited about the garden as each bed is filled.  Our tomatoes and peppers that we planted too early are not doing well.  We decided to buy a few seedlings from the Plant Kingdom to supplement. Here is a look at the fruit and veggies.
