Planting Dates
My dad told me about this handy gardening website.
You simply type in your average day of the last frost (April 15 in Missouri) and it spits out all the dates you should be planting your various vegetables and fruits. How handy!

Our garden vegetables are growing as I write this. My back hurts like crazy but the dang thing is done.

>Square Foot Gardening
>It’s that time of year again… planting time!
Last year, my dad helped us set up a square foot garden in our back yard. I wrote a post about it so if you want the whole story, check out this link.
Well tomorrow, Austin and I are diving in for round two. Papa Gary is in Chicago so we are on our own. And, lets be honest, I’m 26 weeks pregnant with a constant back ache so really, Austin is on his own. I’m sure I will supervise and assist excellently.
One thing that a backache CAN’T stop me from doing is planning. So that’s what I did. Here is the game-plan for our garden.
It will probably change a little bit but this is what we are thinking right now.
Last year we didn’t have much success with the spinach or carrots. We thought we’d give it one more shot. We also used onions like crazy so we thought we’d expand their property a bit. Potatoes are new on the agenda as well. I have no idea how to plant those.
I’ve been referring a lot to the website, Vegetable Gardening Online, for tips on planting. I’m sure we’ll be on that website a lot tomorrow 🙂
Happy Gardening!

>Free Thank You Cards
>I have a confession.
I love office supplies.
I could meander the aisles of Office Depot and Staples for a hobby.
Now that that’s out there- I want to share a freebie I found at Coin Purse. Free thank you cards!
Just print them off front/back on cardstock, trim them up, and you have an unlimited supply of unique-super cute thank you cards.
I already have a stash at my desk. Love freebies!
