The Back Yard Garden

It was Face and Didi's idea to start with. We had tried to cultivate a garden two years ago, but then most of the laborers had left the country on a semester abroad program. And the garden languished, ripe vegetables getting burned by the sun, innocent rabbits staring at the rotting delectables.

So we decided to try again. And this time it would be bigger--about five times bigger than the last garden. Exact dimensions are 22ft by 49ft: over 1,000 sq ft. of garden. And this time we would plant more.

Here's the list of what we are planting:
-Peppers
-Eggplant
-Rosemary
-Sage
-Tarragon
-Zucchini
-Butternut Squash
-Tomatoes
-Basil
-Beets
-Broccoli
-Carrots
-Cucumbers
-Corn
-Lettuce
-Onions
-Radishes
-Arugula
-Kale
-Leek
-Spinach
-Thyme
-Green Beans
-Snap Peas

One thing is certain, we are not messing around.

So here begins the Many Wonderful Adventures of the Yardeners. Best of luck to us.
