Roses and Pea blooms oh my!
3rd and 4th graders can be pretty busy little people. But chaperoning them in a torrential down pour over a couple nights can be down right nerve wrecking to the faint of heart.

First off I was more than thrilled to see that the vegetable garden was still intact after I heard of the storms in the city and all the hail. As soon as I walked into the back-yard my neighbor says "Hey Tina look at your beautiful rose bushes".

My constant doting with fertilizer, bug spray, water, pruning, picking off critters, and constantly threatening/talking to the things has finally yielded great results. I could have been happy all day about just the blooms on the rose bushes. However, I continued to the veggie garden where I noticed some chew marks...
