Well, that's what kenna thought! She didn't realize that even after 3 trips to the store (Calloway's, Home Depot, and the Plant Shed) we still wouldn't have any plants in the ground! While I slaved over digging all the grass up (who needs the gym?), tilling the old soil, mixing in the garden soil, and building the border for our garden, she just wanted to stand there and hold the worms... well I guess someone has to do it! and Adelyn wouldn't even touch them (and I thought she was my get dirty girl - no bugs for her!). So, here is what we have so far...
a huge side yard that we never use!
our first 3x5 plot
some grass and dirt to kick off our compost pile!
several worms
a raised bed ready for some more soil!I just really hope there are no real gardeners reading this since I know I am probably missing all kinds of things, but we'll learn as we go! (and feel free to post any suggestions you think might help!) We actually added a few more inches of soil today so I hope we get to plant our tomatoes and strawberries tomorrow! If you want to check out what we will probably do for a compost pile check out this set-up at www.leevalley.com...
and then i've got to pray that Blakely isn't a vegetarian! :P happy gardening!
