Growing a garden...

So, out "garden" is growing. We started with some Tomato and Bell Pepper seeds. We have not added some Jalapeno plants, and we are attempting to grow an Avocado seed. For now, everything is hanging out in my bathroom, were we seem to get the most sunlight. In a couple weekends, we plan to actually plant them all in the yard.... well not the Avacado seed. Apparently it needs to sit over a cup of water, looking like it's dying, before it will actually sprout a root and then we can get ready to plant it. Even then though, it takes some years before it's a full grown tree that produces fruit.

This stuff takes a lot of work, but we are willing to do it because growing our own is going to save us some money and is obviously more healthy. I hope this works. Thank goodness for the Internets (lol) because it is where we are getting all of our advice and education on growing a garden. Can't count on my dad to help us. (I swear that man!)

I'll keep you posted on the progress with pictures and blurbs and such....
