| Peppers & Tomatoes in 2010 |
Wow. I fail at updating this thing!
Right now, my arms feel pretty numb and like they are going to fall off at any second! Oi oi! The reason.......today...I became a 'tomato farmer'. Well maybe not a farmer farmer....but I planted a garden 3/4 full of tomatoes and 1/4 of peppers.
Salsa garden we like to call it.
We usually try to plant one every year, but it didn't look like it was happening this year. I did not like this idea, because I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE tomatoes. And not being able to eat them all the time when they're in season did NOT appeal to my mind one bit. I mentioned it to dad yesterday and he thought it was a good idea to get the garden ready and the tomato plants in ASAP. There are VERY few things that will get me up early, especially on a Monday! Tomatoes must be important enough that I was up and back from H&M Greenhouse with tomatoes and peppers ready to be planted before lunch time. .....but first....the garden had to be turned over and weeded.
by hand.
As I swung the pick ax(because I didn't want dad to hurt his back) my mind went to my trip to the Dominican when we walked by people working entire fields by hand. And I'm complaining about a 10 ft little garden! HOW IN THE WORLD DO PEOPLE FARM BY HAND???!!!! We are so spoiled in America!!

| ouch |
It took about an hour or two to get the ground ready then the job of planting. By then I just sat down in the garden and planted everything. Phew!

I don't even know HOW long we were out there, but finally it is finished and all we have to do now is wait. Believe me-I had the best cold shower of my life! And I feel extremely accomplished right now. Accomplished and tired. I'm going to bed early that's for sure!
But I still can't get over the fact the people do that every day, all day, wow....
So, if you're ever wondering why Victoria hasn't posted words of wisdom or the hilarious adventures of my life in a long time......between baseball season, trying to get ready for the summer, editing photos/video, and just not feeling lead to write....I haven't been on here! :)
Have a Blessed week!
Dios te bendiga ♥
