The results of a trip to PEI

My husband wants me to write a blog. So I decided what better time to write one when I am writing about a trip to PEI...to get stuff for our garden....AND to see my best friend and her family.
We left Friday evening....and got to PEI, Sat morning...not really...but it seemed that way. It may have been b/c we got lost a few times, drove down one way streets the wrong way and ended up seeing most of Charlottetown in one evening, which truly was NOT not the plan. Who knew that such a small island could be so friggin' confusing! All I wanted to do was end up and Ryan and Brandy's at a decent hour...but that would have been too easy!
Anyways, on to our adventure. We got up on Sat (well Rick woke up at like 5:00am so excited that we were gonna be getting stuff for our garden and not to mention that Veseys is Ricks most favorite store) BUT I woke up at around 7:30 to a little voice coming from Brandy and Ryans room yelling... Good Morning Guys! It was Hailey their little girl...shes so sweet:)
ANYWAYS, when we got to Veseys...I knew I was going to be in for a treat (haha). Ricks eyes lit up like you wouldn't believe and he was ready to start seed shopping. Our seed shopping lasted well over an hour (or so it seemed). Rick loved it...I on the other hand could have handled it if Veseys had a little clothing section or something with a lot of pink....like they should have had pink gardening gloves or something...apparently they did, but I was more or less trying to get out of there at a good time so I was busy helping Rick.
We finally got everything picked out that was on the list, and we were out of there. The women at the cash were surprised by how much we got...and to be honest so was I. But apparently if we are going to become self sufficient, and try and sell our produce, we have to spend a little money. Which is ok I can be good at that. So we have pictures of what we bought...and some pictures of the bridge that everyone has seen already. OH and by the way...our pepper plants are growing! I am so excited:) AND...I bought a few herbs that I am going to plant and keep in my kitchen its going to be my own little thing.

  2. Shannon,

    Most people start them 6-8 weeks before the last frost....which is around June 1st in our area...so probably late march (which is soon!) to mid April :) Hope this helped!!!!
