My garden is growing FINALLY!

So, granted this isn't the best picture but I'll tell you what it is... It's my garden and it's growing stuff. I have spinach and swiss chard and cilantro and some aloe vera growing. I'm so excited. I think tomorrow we will have spinach salad with dinner to celebrate. I love fresh vegetables, it's so satisfying (is that spelled right?) to grow your own and when you want some, to just go out and pick some. Ryan told me to just pave over it but I didn't give up. He called me out the other day to "pick my weeds" AJ believed him and started pulling them up but Ryan quickly stopped him. What a good helper AJ is. Have I mentioned I love my kids?

Our Fall Garden

So, we have been challenged to plant a fall garden this month so I did, again. Every Spring and every Autumn I plant a garden. Every Spring and every Autumn our dogs climb over the white picket fence that used to surround it and they dig up and lay in my garden and pee in my garden and kill everything I plant. This year I've had it. I invested in an electric fence. It's called "fido shock". No more dogs in my vegetables. I planted spinach, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, peas, cilantro and swiss chard. We'll see how things go. So, I grabbed the electric box. It delivers a bit of an uncomfortable shock but nothing fatal. AJ grabbed it on Sunday. He screamed for a minute but he was also fine, mostly mad. I figure it'll take once, they are after all smart dogs. It only took once for AJ. I'll post pictures later for progress.
