The Prophet said to plant a garden (so that's what we did)


Spencer discovered that digging though San Antonio soil was no easy work

As many of you know, I spent most of February and March away from home doing pediatric and major vascular rotations in Corpus Christi and Dallas. As soon as I came home, I decided to take a week off from work. During my time off, I decided to put build a small raised garden, a project that Teressa and I had been considering for a while. Spencer was excited. He even spent his own money to buy a pair of small shovels and a pair of gloves to he could help out. After two days of work, we have two small gardens with cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and carrots that are already starting to grow. We still have a long time before we will be harvesting anything, but we are hopeful that we will be eating tasty tomatoes this summer instead of the tasteless grocery store variety.

You crazy April-garden-planting Texans. I just tilled our garden today; I hope to plant the hardier stuff this week. Can't plant any tomatoes yet ... it snowed here yesterday.

We are on the list of people you want to share those tomatos with right!?!?!
