Pie Pumpkins, Butternut Squash and Acorn Squash

August 28, 2009

The garden was in major need or grooming and we DT first weeded, picked, pulled everything except, the okra and peppers. This Texas heat is almost unbearably hott, oh who am I kidding it is unbearably hot. But somehow my sweet husband DT can tough it out to work on the garden. He loves his [...]

Watermelon, snakes and ducks

July 31, 2009

Last weekend I went out to the garden to check everything out, and was very saddened to see that our lone volleyball sized watermelon had split open. I was just imagining biting into it and how cool, crisp and refreshing it would taste, all of that just split in two when I saw her. See [...]

Summer Garden week 18

July 17, 2009

I have missed a few weeks from posting our garden, because in this Texas summer heat mostly everything has started to shrivel up and die. Our cucumbers are gone, and few tomatoes plants.

The view through my lens

July 1, 2009

Summer Garden week 11

May 29, 2009

The weather here in Southeast Texas has been perfect for growing summer veggies, one comment I seem to get most often is how we are already so far along with our garden and most living in northern states are just planting. Well that is because here near the gulf coast during July and August it [...]

Howdy, y’all! Welcome to my blog world. I am Sweet Pea, a 20-something Texas native and a newlywed…well, almost. We wed May 2006. Shortly after we were blessed with identical twins boys born November 2007.

My husband, whom I lovingly call Double Trouble (DT), owns and operates a trucking company, and we use our CB handles as our names here.

I however recently converted from a working mom to a stay-at-home mom. I love the new challenges that it brings and enjoy sharing my triumphs, messes, and adventures with you. I hope you enjoy reading about our busy lives with babies, cooking, gardening, trucking, and bargain shopping.
