On Wednesdays, I have a few blogs that I always visit for Wordless Wednesday because they usually have some fun and unique photos. This Wednesday was no different. The one that caught my eye and peaked my interest was actually photos of a girl and her family tilling the garden and getting ready to replant for summer fruits and vegetables. She was finishing her canning of sauerkraut to use up the cabbage that was in the garden and then they’d be starting new. I love sauerkraut and my grandparents had a huge garden that I remember tending to when we would visit so lots of memories were stirred up by that entry.
I’m not sure Mike’s position on a garden but I have a little time before I have to start worrying about that. We need a house first! LOL If he doesn’t mind a garden I definetly want to grow cucumbers, lettuce, and carrots. Carrots are so much fun because you get to dig them out of the ground. Maybe potatoes too. I wouldn’t mind a few fruit trees either. Definetly a small lemon or lime tree and maybe Plum trees if they can be kept small since plums are one of our favorite fruits.
Do you garden? Any tips if you are from south Texas with the summer heat? What are your favorite garden fruits/veggies?

I am an avid gardener. I started gardening with my dad when I was little. I probably started helping him as soon as I could walk. We have a fairly decent sized vegetable garden in our back yard. I just planted for the summer season this past week. I am looking forward to watching it grow and teaching my little ones how to help in the garden.
