Our Garden

Ever since we bought our house four years ago we have wanted to plant a garden, well this year it happened. We decided to do a raised bed garden because our soil is far from ideal, contains a lot of clay and hardly any topsoil - a vast difference from where we grew up. 

Overall it was a very simple process that was completed in just over a weekend. Saturday we went and purchased all the supplies and plants, assembled the box. Sunday we didn't have much time so we only had time to set the box and fill it with the soil. Monday evening after our little guy went to bed for the night we put the fence up (we have lots of pesky rabbits around here) and planted everything.

We decided to plant broccoli, red and yellow peppers, beans, peas, and strawberries. We went with items that we buy frequently from the store knowing that they are things that we really enjoy. 

We had our happy helper along the way, loving every minute of it.

Now we just wait and hope that between the two of us we have at least one green thumb.
