Finally, Friday, May 25th. Today we did a lot of planting!  We had a good bit of catching up to do, because of the rain and the subsequent setback on Wednesday's volunteer night.  Emily (our newest summer intern) and I planted some green beans, summer squash, and okra.  I can't wait for the okra to come in!  We planted some ruby okra, which looks like this:

So pretty!  We also planted some sweet potato slips, much to my dismay.  I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes. But Susan has convinced me that they are easy to take care of and that they will make a beautiful addition to the garden.  I'll just have to trust her on that one. Here's what the slips look like:

After the sweet potatoes, we transplanted some more squash into a few of the beds, and then we were good to go!  We came back home and got some lunch. I wanted to take a 20min nap after dinner, and BOOM, I was out for two hours. I guess I was a lot more tired than I realized.  It made for a very quick Friday.

Tomorrow, I am headed to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park with Rachel! She has an internship there this summer, so I will hopefully be able to get out there to see her and explore the park. I am very excited to do some camping and adventuring!
