Zucchini, tomatoes and peas, oh my!

July 27, 2009

Admittedly, I am NOT a green thumb. I can manage to keep 3 children and a husband and myself alive, but alas, I cannot maintain the life of a simple houseplant. But this year I was determined to have a small vegetable garden–it is our very first family garden as this is the first house […]
