The "Secret" Garden

Phil surpised me with an amazing gift for my birthday. I've always wanted a garden, but I've never really had the right space or location. "Having a garden" has been on my life list for over five years, and Phil LOVES helping me check things off of my life list. To make a long story short, Phil secretly took the entire day (my birthday) off of work so that he could do all of this work without my knowing it. He spent hours rodatilling and preparing the ground for our enormous garden (the poor guy was sore for days), and then he surprised me with it when I returned home from work. What a gift of time, service, and love.

The garden is loaded with corn, tomatoes,
broccoli, carrots, green beans, cantalope
peppers (red, orange, and yellow), raddishes, spinach, romaine, and snap peas.

In the beginning stages of The "Secret" Garden!

What a great guy!! We attempted a garden last year but it didn't turn out as well as we hoped. We may have to call Phil and get some tips! :) Hope you had a great birthday, Cor! You are beautiful!!

Holy Cow! How exciting! I want a garden too! There's nothing tastier than produce from your own yard. Yum. What a guy you have. :)
