Summer is here...in Alabama

We have seen some very sunny days and temps in the 70's, 80's and 90's.  So far it has been great and it isn't humid yet :)  I always wanted to plant a vegetable garden and now is my chance!  Jareth and I carefully picked out a bunch of vegetables we will use over the summer including jalapenos, cayenne peppers, bell peppers, banana peppers, tomatoes, leeks, cilantro, okra, and strawberries.  We decided we wanted to plant it above ground so we did not ruin anything at our rental house and we can take it with us when we move!  I also started a hanging basket of tomatoes earlier in the season from seeds and they are growing quite nicely- even when I forget to water them.  With my effort of trying to recycle and reuse objects I decided to punch holes in a milk jug rather than buy a watering can.  I can't wait to pick fresh vegetables from the garden!
