Have you ever had Dill, Sea Salt, and Olive Oil Triscuits? They are so good. I've had a love for anything dill since I was little, back when I used to eat whole jars of homemade dill pickles my mom made. I don't know about anyone else, but my sister and I always used to want to be the ones that got to eat the piece of garlic at the bottom of the jar :)

When I was trying to decide what to put in our garden this year, my mind, of course, went wild. I had plans for a few flower gardens as well as a vegetable garden that would probably have fed 50 people. Thankfully, due to my hectic work schedule, I was unable to start my garden from seed; otherwise we probably would have ended up with 60 tomato plants like last year haha!

No rose bushes this year...this summer we're hoping to paint our home, so I want to make sure the roses that bloom match our house :)

 I just love these flowers. I'll probably go back for them.

I was probably the most fashionable person at the greenhouse with my bandaid. Bandaids are cool, Micah! (My nephew doesn't like bandaids, so my sister and I wore them hoping he'd agree. He didn't. We'll get him to like them...at some point...)

I picked up a bunch of goodies: cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, banana peppers, purple peppers, vidalia onions, zucchini, brussel sprouts, watermelon, muskmelon, basil, purple basil, cilantro, and dill.

This year I'm planning on canning some salsa, marinara, dill pickles, and banana peppers. I figured if I kept the garden "small", I'd actually end up canning everything and not having to freeze it all due to lack of time.

I picked the perfect day to weed the garden...it started out just drizzling; then about a 1/2 hour into it, it was a complete downpour. But I kept on going. Because I'm crazy like that. And I wanted to get it done.

And I finished! The best part is we've continued to have horrible to some (perfect to me) summer weather, rain every day for the past week. I've only had to water the plants once :)

I really hope everything grows well-it would be such an accomplishment to be able to provide marinara, salsa, pickles...etc., for Tim and I in the winter months :)
