Our Garden

Getting the soil into the garden boxes.

On May 9th I planted my first garden. I had a lot of help from my mom, Shawn, and Cruz. On Friday night Shawn and I picked up 2 tons of dirt/mulch to put into our garden beds. I got a little ahead of myself. The house we moved into a year ago has 4 nice size planting beds. They even have water hooked up to each bed. Last summer was a little hectic with my dad, so this summer, me and my mom decided we would try a garden. Shawn, Cruz, and I put the soil in and mixed it up real good. As you can see in the pictures Cruz was such a good little helper. On Saturday May 9th my mom and I planted....and planted....and planted. Cruz tried to help out to, but he usually liked to take the seeds out that we had just planted. We made nice rows with a dividing line (for water) in between each row. We have beans, peas, chard, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, squash, 1 pumpkin, rhubbarb, peppers ( to make our own salsa), basil, oregano, and chives. I think that is everything. We are going to bring down some raspberry plants down from Idaho over Memorial Day weekend for the 4th garden box. Stay posted to see what happens with the garden!!!
