May is planting season....

We got back from Baker creeks seed festival on Wednesday. We are finally getting rested from all the fun we had. We are hoping to put on pictures soon! I can tell you we had a great time and hope to go back next year:) We brought home many packets of seeds and some pepper plants. We are hoping to plant our garden soon. Mary and Laura bought a few hand-made crafts:) There were many people selling plants and hand-made items it was amazing at all the things they were selling:)

It is May and that means planting season. We are going to extend our garden. We have raised beds and we are hoping to have a few row beds.  We might add a few more raised beds too? I don't think much of our fruit did well but we do have strawberry plants that are now getting ready to fruit.  We visited a nice mans garden while we were on vacation. He was growing his fruit in raised beds maybe we will try that next time. Our blue berries and grapes have been hard to grow. Has any one here grown fruit in raised beds?

We only have a few more weeks of school until our short break. It will be nice to have a small break:) There are so many things we would like to do this summer. I always get a little nervous that we won't be able to get it all done. The older I get the quicker the seasons fly by. I can't believe I have a 14 and an 11 year old. Where did the time go? I have been home with them and cared for them every day and still I miss them being little. Although these teen or between years are also fun:) I remember both of our daughters playing in the garden and now they  can plant and water and  do almost  all the work themselves. I miss having little ones.

I better go and get my day started. Thank you stopping by and reading our blog:)
