mmmmm tomaters.

So a few weeks ago in Ward Conference

a member of our Stake Presidency told

us that we NEED to plant a garden

He basically told us that there is

no excuse not to have one

And I wanted to be like,

"um yeah I have a ton of them"

Ha but he's totally right.

and with all of this craziness going on in the world

(earthquakes, tsunamis, war, uprisings)

The realization that the Second Coming

is ACTUALLY COMING- hit me.

and it really kinda freaks me out.

So I am going to heed the words of

encouragement and start a garden

Now this is definitely not my yard/garden

But this is what Im going to try

a Square Foot Garden

I've been looking online

and supposedly ANYONE can make one of these work.

I have no green thumb, So this really appeals to me haha

This is my sad yard

It needs alot of sunshine and love

and this is where im planning
my future garden
Im thinking of doing a 2 x 6 foot box
and plant some of my favorite veggies
Tomatoes, zuchini, peas, cucumbers, carrots...
and maybe some lettuce and cilantro?
The cool thing about the square foot garden plan
is that it doesnt matter
that my soil is Terrible- because you put your
own soil mixture into the box.

Im going to start this this weekend...
because according to my
"Gardening in Idaho" book I need to start
planting things within the next month!
and of course
its supposed to rain on Saturday (figures)

But no excuses right??
