We have a small plot of yard I'm hoping to turn into a veggie/herb patch. I would ideally like to plant a few stalks of corn, cukes, tomatoes (plum as well as some lovely slicing variety), green peppers, green onions, pumpkins, LOTS of basil, cilantro and parsley.

Brien has already delineated the area so we need to purchase either some peat or top-soil (or both...) to mix in with the soil we already have. I'd like to start some seeds and transplant so I foresee a trip to Lowe's in our future. :o)

I have a tendency to start with big plans and then let them fizzle as the heat of summer wears me down and out. Poor Jessie has rescued and resuscitated my flowers more times than I can count. Now, though, I've posted these plans on not one, but TWO blogs so I'm more likely to suck it up and get out in the heat and humidity and weed, water and nurture my plants. I look forward to doing these things with Lil as I know she'll get a kick out of it. My main fear is having her "weed" all the seedlings...

I'll need to keep a close eye on her, I know. :o)
