Spring in Louisiana

Tok and the gang are enjoying the grass growing, flowers and now the garden is starting to grow.  Soon we might have radishes and carrots (about 4 weeks for the radishes) and in 2 months or so, the cukes and carrots should be coming in like crazy.  We will post a few picks below.

Life around here is busy as usual.  Bek is busy with dance, 4-H, singing, school work and church.  Stephanie is finishing a class from last semester while preparing for next semester, working on scrapbooks, crocheting and enjoying the sun while John is busy with work and keeping the lawn mowed. 

The right half of our 4' by 8' sq ft garden.  Right now it contains (starting at the left front corner): cucumbers, a bell pepper plant, 4 cabbage plants (upper left corner to middle) then down the right side are 4 zuccini starts, a few onions from last fall and 3 banana peppers in the center.

One branch of our little peach tree.  We have dozens of peaches on the tree and can only hope they grow to
maturity this summer.

Just a few of our self sustainability attempts for this year.  Next post will have some flowers- much prettier even if they make me sneeze!
