Garden Time!

Yes, that's right I'm really going to plant a garden. I've never been much for growing things and I strongly dislike weeding. But in my quest to be budget conscious and healthy I have to decided to grow a veggie garden. I'm actually pretty excited about it and my mom has even volunteered to come and help. Thanks Mom!

So here's what I want to grow:

-Tomatoes (I don't really like tomatoes, but my mom and dad LOVE them. Also, I want to can my own spaghetti sauce, so we will definitely need these.)
- Green Beans (I plan to freeze these too, plus I love fresh green beans, so we'll try to grow a whole bunch)
- Green and Red Peppers (These are a staple at our house)
-Onions (another staple)
-Cucumbers (I really hope we don't end up with 500 cucumbers. These things always seem to multiple like rabbits!)
-Radishes (per the request of Mom and Dad)

I'm also planning to grow some herbs. I want to put them in beautiful pots to decorate our front porch. My herb garden will consist of:
-Mint
-Cilantro
-Oregano
-Basil
*And whatever other herbs I might need for making pasta sauce.

I will be sure to post pictures of the before, during, and after. Hopefully, we will be able to accomplish the task.
