We started using our pool this year towards the end of March. It being rather on the frigid side, I haven't been swimming yet. The kids have used it about 3 days a week on average so far, but as Thurs. and Fri. we are supposed to see 100 degree weather. Neil says it's the best investment we've ever made. I agree, because it gives me plenty of quite time in the house while they are all out back. Alex is in LOVE with snorkel masks and borrows Sam and Lyndee's any chance he gets.
This is my vegetable "garden" this year. Every year I attempt to plant tomatoes, they become over grown and infested with aphids and Neil is the one that has to clean it up when it's all over. So this year, I decided to do three plants, a lemon cucumber, a yellow zuchinni, and a cherry tomato. Have you seen the Topsee Turbee on T.V. selling for $19.95? I made my own using plastic grocery bags I've collected. I used 3-4 each bags each, cut a tiny hole, pushed the plant through, added soil, then duct taped the bottom to help the plant stay put. I water every couple of days and now I have green tomotoes on the vine and flowers on the squash and cucumber. I plan on my garden fresh produce coming from Lyndee's grandpa's garden. He put in almost 30 plants. Anyone have a good salsa and pasta sauce recipe for canning?

I sure wish we had a pool!
The kids would love it.
I think your garden is a great idea. I posted a recipe for fresh salsa a while back.
