Pilgrims and Pioneers: The Pilgrim Garden Continues to Grow!

Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!

After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!

The Pilgrim Garden Continues to Grow!

Yesterday was a big planting day.

The garden got three cherry tomato plants, three yellow heirloom tomato plants, 4 muskmelon plants, a row of lima beans, chives, thyme , more basil, and garlic chives, more beets and Swiss Chard.

Today it got 4 Basil plants for a jump start and 2 mint plants. I wanted watermelon plants but a woman bought the last three right in front of me! So I bought a packet of seed and will start them in little pots. I have started mulching and just as I did the raim came!

Woo Hoo- no dragging water to the garden today!
