It's begun!

Yesterday (4/10/10) marked the official begining of the 2010 Milleson garden.  Jay spent most of the day working on the tiller, tilling, buying fence supplies and installing them. 
The purpose of our blog is to keep a high-tech garden journal and to hopefully make our friends laugh.  If we achieve neither, then we've done our best.
So who are we?
Both Jay and I are city-folks, pretending to live in the country.  We live on 2-acres out west of Amarillo.  It's farm-land turned quasi-domestic so we feel like we're roughing it.  Jay's family came from farms.  Mine came from oil fields and millwrights.  Between the two of us, we're just north of clueless, but determined to make the best of it.
Technically, some seeds were started a few weeks ago, but the vast majority were planted outside today.  They were:
  • Parris Romaine Lettuce
  • Lettuce (Fancy) Mix
  • Red Onions
  • Sweet Texas Onions
  • Garlic (a butt load - it's a technical term)
  • Stringless Green Beans
  • Peppers
    • Bell (Green, Red, Purple, White, Yellow)
    • Jalepeno
    • Anaheim
    • Green
    • Habenero (Amanda these have to be for Tim)
    • ??  There's one more but I can't remember
  • Carrots
  • Broccoli
  • Celery
  • Lemon Cucumbers
  • Round Zucchini
That took about 1/3 of the garden so we have lots more to plant, including tomatoes, pumpkins, more cucumbers, etc.  So excited. 
I'll post more 'technical' information later, but for right now, welcome to the journey.  ;)
