Cody's Garden

So we finally planted a garden this year. Or should I say, Cody did. Gardening is one of those things I have always wanted to do and just never really did. When we put in our lawn we set up the sprinklers for a garden, even though we knew it would be a few years until we actually had one.


Well I got bent out of shape at one point and gave Cody a hard time saying it would be "his" garden and not ours because I wanted to do it, but he would end up taking it over. Well I was right. And good thing, too! I picked out a few seeds I wanted and other than that it has been Cody who has been slaving over it.


He is out there every evening, meticulously taking care of it. For those of you who know Cody, you know there is no other way he would do it. And I have to say that it is a beautiful garden. Not huge, but wonderful.

Look at this Swiss Chard! It's Audrey II!

I help when I can, which means telling Cody how wonderful it looks, and shaking the tomato flowers to mimic the pollinating breezes.

So, someday, when I have more than 2 minutes to myself a day, maybe I will do a garden. But until then, I have this one - and I barely have to lift a finger. How lucky am I?
