Our "garden"

You might be familiar with Jim's gardens.

He has a green thumb.

He got it from both sides of the family.

Rod's Mom could grow a tree from a dead stick.

(And did on a couple of occasions...)

And of course, Mom & Dad's garden was

legendary!

(As were the Daddy Long Legs in the beans...)

However,

somehow that gene seemed to skip a generation.

I am NOT a good gardener.

For the most part.

I grew some killer okra.

Back before I knew what to do with it.

And I've been moderately successful with

green peas.  (Shhh, Kyle and I always ate

them right out of the garden, I don't think Rod

ever knew they grew!)

But for the most part?

Fail.

But we are trying again!

This time we are using a nifty bucket method

Rod learned about (and researched exhaustively) online.

I give you...

Buffaloe Acres.

Ok, there are only 6 buckets.

But aren't they colorful and cute?

We have high hopes for these.

There are 4 cherry tomato plants

and 2 mini sweet peppers.

If these survive, I'm hoping to add green peas.

But I doubt they will do well.
