faux farmers . . .

That's us! We decided since we have this big, beautiful backyard now, we should just till it all up, make a big mess and plant somethings! Really, we've told ourselves if we can just get one thing to grow than our garden will have been a success {Year Uno!} The most fun has been all the work & time we've spent as a family out there - our friend Jay came & tilled up the ground for us, but after that everything has been done by hand- that's right, nothing but natural, organic old time farming for us Tharpes.

We've planted radishes, cucumbers, lettuce, watermelon, banana peppers, bell peppers and tomatoes. I also have a small herb garden on the back deck with cilantro & basil {hope to get some more herbs this weekend} I'll keep you posted on how it's going. Who knows, next we might actually put some chickens in our coup out back?? {I can't believe I just typed that!}
