I decided to see if I had a green thumb this spring and planted a square box garden! Erik did an awesome job building the boxes and I had fun filling them with seeds.

So here is the funny thing. Last year our sweet neighbors Bill and Betty gave us two small tomato seedlings after the "big" tomato scare. We planted them in pots and one did very well but the other did not. We eventually moved the pots around to the front of the house for fall mums.

All spring after we planted the garden I had been fussing over the vegetables. Watering, pruning, watching, waiting and waiting.

Erik came in one afternoon while doing yard work and asked me to come outside. I had no clue what it was about. He lead me over to the area where we had last year's tomato garden and SURPRISE. We had at least 10 baby tomato plants!!! They were growing so much better than my little garden I had been fussing over!

Heaven's to Betsy!
