This week's top ten is inspired by Garden Week. The second week in April is Garden Week. Looks like Scott jumped the gun a week early. These are some of our favorite things to plant in a garden. We especially love it when we can eat them (except for the flowers). Happy Gardening!!!
1. Tomatoes - For a great story about home-grown tomatoes, check out Garrison Keillor’s "Tomato Butt"
2. Zucchini - Scott’s favorite! Best with Parmesan cheese and butter! Yummy! Our mouths are watering!
3. Cucumbers - One of Sundy’s favorite snacks when soaked in ½ water, ½ vinegar over night (add a dash of salt and pepper!) Yum! And almost 0 calories!
4. Corn - Corn on the Cob is the best when barbequed.
5. Peas - Memories of picking peas as a kid are some of Sundy’s favorite! She used to pod them and eat the peas raw!
6. Carrots - Who doesn’t like carrots? Poor Scott can’t eat too many though because it makes his throat itch and feel like they are stuck in there.
7. Broccoli - It grew well in Vegas so we are seeing if they do the same here.
8. Strawberries - MMMMMMMMM! In Vegas Kiara and Katia would pick them and eat them right off the plants. We never got a large crop because the girls kept eating them!
9. Watermelon - Seed spitting contests can’t be beat!
10. Flowers - Sundy likes the purple and yellow flowers best! But her favorite is the Colorado Columbine! Roses are always a favorite too!

Ask Scott if he'll come plant a garden for me!!
Good luck with the garden! I don't know if we'll plant one this year or not - we might wait until next spring, when we can get started in March. Sounds like y'all had a nice Easter! And I bet the weather in AZ was perfect!
Scott - You made your own background - HOW?? You are so awesome! I love it and yes - good luck with the garden. We are getting snow (LOTS) as I type this - UGH!!
