Our Garden

We decided to plant a garden this year. We are trying out the "square foot garden" which claims you can grow anything in 6 inches of soil. These pics are a few weeks old. I'll post some new ones when I can.

Welcome to our garden!

Brad worked with the kids to build our boxes. Then we all spent a few hours mixing our soil. We started planting and transplanting several different things. He is a pick of the broccoli, cauliflower, and onions:

Here our the first peas that we planted. They were planted from a seed by Will. He's been the big farmer who whats to plant everything. It's fun to see him get excited when they start to come up.

We planted some bean seeds and one is starting to peek through:

This is a pick of one of our strawberry plants. It's got a flower!

We also transplanted some lettuce:

We have 4 4x4 gardens and on 4x8 that we are planting corn in. We plan on mulching in between the boxes, but until we do, the kids get to plan in the puddles from the rain. Lucy is outside in a dress that isn't supposed to be outside. Guess I'm to busy taking pictures to watch my children.

Isn't she cute? Notice the big girl underwear!

Will came in while I was typing and looked at all the picks. He said, "Those peas are really little. Now they look like vines." He also said he just looked at our corn and that there are little green things all over the place and that I just HAVE to come see. So I'll go check that out and hopefully be back soon with more on our garden!
