Eat Your Veggies

Unbeknownst to me that we were under drought conditions, Alexis and I planted some new green stuff at our house. We spent the weekend cleaning up our backyard, reclaiming it for non-weed like green plants. It looks great and feels great! So after all the trimming, weeding and cleaning we had to get yard bags at the hardware store. Well, let's just saying we walked out with more than yard bags. We now have spinach, lettuce, herbs and even one hanging plant and a couple of edible pansies in our front yard. We love it! The garden folks say that Atlanta's growing season lasts well into January, so this was perfect timing. Besides the drought, but Alexis did find out that you can water veggies, so that's good. Hopefully we can get pictures up on the web. Maybe next year we can try for peppers and tomatoes like my brother. He has quite the green thumb.

Little known fact of the day:
Nike just rolled out a new shoe that is specifically designed for the American Indian, the N7.
