My vegetable garden is in!

I planted: tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, green peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, swiss chard, kale, eggplant, cucumbers, acorn squash, butternut squash, watermelon, musk melon, buttercrunch lettuce, spinach, bush beans, onions, zucchini, and sugar snap peas.

Herb garden: lemon balm, echinacea (cone flowers), rosemary, thyme, cilantro, basil, chives and garlic chives, oregano, spearmint, peppermint. (below)

I started a shade garden: 8 varieties of hostas, coleus, ostrich ferns, lambs ear, purple lamium, and snow on the mountain so far..

Looks awesome! Can't keep a pregnant woman still, huh? You should start your own farmer's market. I tried growing cilantro and I killed it. Then I bought seeds and they won't sprout. My basil looks awesome though. The rest of my stuff looks great....guess VA weather allows for earlier planting than IN.

Don't feel bad, I killed everything I started from seed. I'm thinking the kids over-watered. ;)

Now if I can just keep the birds from eating my baby peas sprouts and beans sprouts, I'll be happy.

Fyi: planting all of this while 8 1/2 months prego is... challenging. :)

You ever gonna start a blog?!?!?!

I don't have the time to blog. It's all I can do to clean my house, which rarely happens the way I want it to. We are doing the bare minimum to get by right now. Hopefully, summer will allow us more time. Are you still on target for the end of June?

I understand the whole being overwhelmed thing. I don't know how you do it! :)
I have had to say to "no" to a lot of "extra" things to be able to maintain my sanity.
Yes, baby is due June 28. It cannot come soon enough for me! :)
