I am SO Proud of my old neighbor Mrs. Hillbilly. Over the weekend Mrs. HB and her son {little HB} planted their garden ALL BY THEMSELVES!!! Her son even made her a sign for the garden that sits next to her kids old playset in their backyard.

She was so excited after buying all her starts at Wilco she sent me a text to come on over and take a look at all their hard work.

Mrs. HB and her son planted lettuce, carrots, sugar snap peas, Brussel sprouts, celery, onions, leeks, chives and potatoes and they are looking forward to planting tomatoes and peppers next month.

How exciting!

Last summer I helped my old neighbors plant their first garden. One of the things we planted was artichokes. Luckily we had a mild enough winter that a few of them came back this spring.

So did the strawberries in her strawberry pot.

Now, if Mr. HB can just get their pond stocked with fish…. 😉

Way to go Mrs. HB! Once the garden bug bites…. there’s no going back.
