Gardening, Jones Style

First, we chose a few different fruits, vegetables and herbs that we like to cook with.  Second, we bought seeds, seedlings and some gardening soil to blend with our dirt.  Third, as a family weeded, dug holes, planted seeds, watered and waited.  And waited and watered and waited and watered and waited.  Until one day, we saw the ground making room for our garden varieties.  We continued to weed and watch patiently as the 'fruits' of our labors were blooming.  We planted cucumbers, basil, cilantro, serrano peppers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, green onions, carrots and garlic.  The cilantro drowned after the first storm.  We only grew a couple of cucumbers and they were 'picked' before they were ready.  Abby is really excited about our garden.  She also saw a cantaloupe on the vine, I told her that she could show it to Daddy.  I went to call for Sherman and when he came out to see it, she was coming in with the VINE IN HAND!!  It was really cute.  Needless to say, we did end up with two excellent cantaloupes and there is still one growing. W ended up with one carrot.  Wait for the picture!! The basil and peppers have done the best and we have been enjoying them.  We still have tomatoes on the vine that are waiting for more heat.  For the ones we have picked, they have been excellent.  Fortunately for me, I am the only one that likes tomatoes so I can just eat them like an apple!!  Here are a few pictures:
