Traci and I spent a few nights over the past couple of weeks getting our garden started. We planted some of the same things that we did last year plus a few new ones. We started the following from seeds and clumps of "stuff"- Watermelon, strawberries, onions, cucumbers, snow peas, and corn. Tomatoes, bell peppers, peppers and some watermelon were started a few weeks ago in the house.
The garden is in the back corner of the yard
Where all the magic happens
Last year the cute little bunnies ate up all of our snow peas before they had the chance to grow so this year we put up a small fence to protect the small plants and just to be sure that the rabbit doesn't nibble on anything else, we are setting up a live trap tomorrow night to try and catch it. I will keep you posted on our efforts. We planted two rows of corn just to see it grow and we hope to get a couple of ears from the stalks. :-)

Did you know that it will take 3 years for that asparagus to give you anything to digest? I planted asparagus this year and the dog dug it up and ate it, so I am on my second plant and t minus three years until enjoyment, if the dog doesn't enjoy it first!
3 long years. It's hard to watch it grow knowing that we can't dig our teeth into it for another year or so. :-) There is a wild patch at the Ranch in South Dakota that we raid right after Father's day.
