First Post!

I (Lee) have pondered this idea of a blog for a while. Last year I almost did it. But now, with Marion on board, it's official! I don't really know what to expect of it. If likelihood has anything to do with it, I'm sure we'll get busy and leave months in between post. However, as of right now I'm fully on board. I'll go ahead and apologize... or warn you, cause i'm really not that sorry, that my grammar can get pretty bad at times and I can't spell the best (ok, I  am a little sorry for that), but hopefully spell check will help with that. I guess this is just a blog acting as an outlet for our modest form of creativity. I'm doing it because I am excited about what we're doing. As I said before, I don't have any expectations for this blog.

So, I hope to get some pictures up here soon showing you the garden thus far and all. Things are pretty exciting. We (I should say Marion) has the beds worked up well and has started planting some spring items. We have several beds of lettuce. Also in the ground is kale, turnips, beets, fennel, kohlrabi, spinach, peas and radishes. I've been working on a chicken tractor that is almost complete. In fact, we are going this weekend to get some Chickens!!  We're starting some summer veggies and herbs  in trays and pellets now too.

I won't go in too much detail without pictures, but below I'm going to list what we have planted already in the garden. We are trying to keep up with the names so we can know what we like best in the future and it's just nice to know their names. Some we don't know, but we'll try to get better at that.
