I have pre-ordered the new iPhone 4S for me and Chrissy. That was a harder decision to make than I thought it would be. Because Apple is so secretive about their products, there was no telling what they would unveil on October 4th during their “Let’s Talk iPhone” event. But that didn’t stop people from...

The garden has been very good to us over the summer, but the season is over now. There were still some tiny tomatoes, but they won’t grow all the way. Chrissy tore out the remaining plants and we’ll be covering the raised plant beds for the winter soon. We plan on building at least two more raised plant bed boxes next...

The first vegetable that our raised plant beds produced was a small zucchini. It was only about six inches long, but we didn’t really know how big zucchini were supposed to get. This was our first season using the plant boxes, so we were happy just to have something to show for it. Chrissy chopped it up and put it in...

But there was a backup plan, which would...

We also planned on stopping at Cahokia Mounds, where I proposed to Chrissy, on the way there. There’s also the Magic House Children’s Museum,...

We have a tomato factory. Chrissy started out with three tomato plants in the raised plant beds. These have grown over the sides of the plant beds and are producing more tomatoes that we thought possible. We’re starting to wonder what to do with all of these tomatoes. Chrissy got a recipe for making salsa (with extra...

The vegetable garden is doing better than we had ever hoped. It must be the genetically superior super-soil that we used. The tomatoes are small and green yet, the zucchini are growing well and there are even bell peppers popping out. Chrissy is very proud! It won’t be long before we can actually harvest some...
