Family Garden (Part 1)

Since now we live way out....I decided we are going to embrace country living and have a garden. One that hopefully this summer will payoff with beautiful fruits and veggies (no promises though...Im not really known for my green thumb.)

So for the last 4 weekends we have all put on our "outside work clothes" and built us a garden. Although the first 3 weeks which included fence building, drip system fixing, and backfilling, was complaint city from the kids, (yes we made them help!) week four (planting)  finished us off with a load full of smiles.

Both Parker and Abby got to pick what they wanted in it, with Parker pretty much only caring about watermelon, and Abby wanting peas and corn. Also into our garden went lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, onions, green onions, green peppers, and cantelope. I hope to have an update on this later in the summer. Hopefully not to say....its all dead.

Here are some shots of Week 4.
