The garden!!...2 months ago

Yah, this post is a little late, oh well. I still figured I'd post the pictures so you can see the progress this garden has made. Literally this is the best garden I've ever had! Granted, it helps when there are 4 people to help, and when you find the tool to manage weeds!! More on that later. The garden contains tomatoes (duh!), basil, peppers (hot and sweet), beets, kohlrabi, carrots, swish chard, peas, green beans, onions, shallots, potatoes, butternut squash, summer squash, acorn squash, seedless watermelon (no idea where that plant came from), and spaghetti squash. The squash problem (evident in later posts) is because mom doesn't like to to prune plants and ended up putting way too many in the garden. Oh well, it's been fun to watch it all grow and take over the garden.

2016 Father's Day Campout

Alright, 2016 Father's Day Campout is in the books! No fields caught on fire, all the children are still accounted for, bellies were filled to the max, and great family conversation was had around the fire. I'd call that a success. Words will be few in this post, considering looking at some stinkin' cute kids is what this one's all about. Enjoy :o)
