So… we did a thing.
For a while now, I’ve been talking about starting a garden—probably longer than I care to admit. I had this grand vision of growing our own food, living off the land, and maybe even wearing a straw hat like I know what I’m doing.
After a solid week of clearing space, breaking up stubborn Alabama clay, and realizing just how many muscles I forgot I had, we finally did it—we planted our very first garden!

What We Planted
It’s small, but mighty (and I say that with hope in my heart). Right now, we’ve got:
- Corn
- Tomatoes
- Jalapeños
- Radishes
- Cucumbers
- Squash
Basically, if it’s crunchy or spicy, we’re trying to grow it.

The Waiting Game Begins
I won’t lie—when we dropped that last seed into the ground, I might’ve declared, “Let the farming begin!” Yes, like I was auditioning for Little House on the Prairie
Now it’s time to water, wait, and hope that the neighborhood critters don’t think we opened a salad bar just for them.

Looking Ahead
Even though this garden is small, we’re already dreaming about next year. Bigger space, more veggies, and probably more ibuprofen. Gardening ain’t for the weak!
But for now, we’re thankful for this beginning. We’ve got dirt on our hands, sun on our backs, and faith in our hearts.

Stay tuned—next update might
include sprouts… or squirrels. Either way, it’s going to be an adventure!
