"Every child is born a naturalist. His eyes are, by nature, open to the glories of the stars, the beauty of the flowers, and the mystery of life."
I have wanted to create a small vegetable garden for a few years now. Ryan and I decided that this was the year we would attempt it! Our neighbors had a great garden last year and our kids had so much fun watching it grow and eating things out of it! We hope that we at least can get a few things to grow because our children are ecstatic!!
Taking the grass out was a big hit! The kids had a blast searching for (and playing with) worms.
Sue helped Ryan make the garden box when she was here marathon weekend which was very helpful. We have had so much rain since then and the kids have been anxiously awaiting planting!
We all had so much fun planting! We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, peas, and some flowers! I am desperately praying at least some of our things will grow so our kids won't be too discouraged! I've heard the first year can be rough and I definitely don't have a green thumb. Prayers accepted!
We also finally planted some trees! We planted two trees in our boulevard and one in our back yard. The kids were just as excited to plant the trees as the garden! They look great! We had a great weekend getting some things done around the house! Love this little family :)

Yay! Good luck on your garden! I can't even keep strawberries alive that are already planted in a container that my mom bought me. Perhaps I should have replanted them like she said! lol
