Veggie Happiness

Hi.... Okay wanted to write a quick post about the fact that my veggie garden is rockin'! I know I'm an incredible dork for how much complete happiness this is bringing me... BUT it is. Each day I go out and nature it up & am totally seeing soo much veggies already starting to form.. so cool to see. I have many starts of cucumbers, tomatoes, and green beans!!! The green pepper plant has doubled in size! yay! I'm not so sure about the lettuce or the sweet corn... fingers cross they make it! BUT read my post from a couple of weeks ago and I thought my veggie garden wan't gonna make it..... and it's doing sooo well..so i still have hope!! Can't wait til i can make bruschetta with my OWN tomatoes! YUM!! Pictures to come! :)

Emily's field trip & more...

it's been a good week... I chaperoned Emily's Excel class field trip. They went to Historic Philadelphia.. the kids got a map of the area, with 33 different locations they COULD visit & they were to pick 3 or 4 of them TO visit. IT's been an UNUSUALLY HOT week in NJ/Philly area. Today it's supposed to get up to 88. Anyway.. Tuesday the day of the trip was in the low 80's. But in the city it felt HOTTER! Anyway ofcourse Emily decides to choose places the farthest away from each other & we only had 2 1/2 hours. Luckily alot of parent chaperones went on the trip, so I was really responsible only for Emily.. which was good. We visited the Tomb of the Unnamed soldier, Independence Visitor center, the Bource Building for lunch, then to Elfreth's Alley & Betsy Ross House. the tomb was located on 7th or 8th st.& Elfreth's Alley was on 2nd.. it was rush, rush, rush... BUT we had a great time. We were hot & tired by the end.. but we got to see everything we had wanted to. Anyway.. like I said it's been really HOT & NO rain.. so my veggie plants have gotten some much needed sun! YAY! Today, Dan, Joshy and I went to Christmas tree shop, I got some organic fertilizer & a garden bag (i use it for Emily's stuffed animals.. works great!!). Then we went to lunch! Panera-YUMMM! Anyway.. guess I should go, I need to get some things done before Emily gets home from school & Brian home from work. Have a great day EVERYONE! :)OH and Emily just reminded me, OUR FAVORITES on Dancing with the Stars.. HINES WARD & KIM JOHNSON WON!!! WOO HOO! :) *We were waving our terrible towels.. OH YEAH!! Told you it's been a good week. :) I don't wanna jinx anything since it's only Thursday! So let's knock on wood. ;)

Vegetable gardening woes

i think my "veggie" garden isn't doing sooo good.. the ground is soo wet, it's been raining for so many days...I think they are drowning.. ugh. NO sprouts have immerged of what I've planted, and it's been over a week. There is rain being called for the next 3 days after that it's suppose to be sunny.. I just hope they can wait that long. VERY FRUSTRATING! :/
