How will your garden grow?

Helping push the peas into the soil

Let us plant lettuce :)

This is our first real attempt at a garden all on our own. We've done a few things in pots before but never the whole real deal. It's certainly been a learning process so far. We had to decide what we really wanted to plant, and then find out what would actually grow here. It's been a fun endeavor for all of us! We planted our peas, lettuce, green onions, and spinach in our new raised beds about a month ago. Last weekend we planted beans, carrots, a couple tomato plants, cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, herbs, sunflowers and basil. Hopefully mother nature helps us out and keeps the cold frosty weather away, and brings on the sun! So far so good though everything we planted last month has come up and seems to be doing well. As for last weekends plantings.... Ella was really into helping, she got her own garden tools from the Easter bunny, so she was well equipped with a little shovel and hand rake. She was in a "lets move the soil" kind of mood after the new seeds were in, so we may very well have carrots in our beans, sunflowers in our basil and cucumbers in our strawberries - oh well it's all part of the fun right?

Things are beginning to sprout up!
