Planting Day!

If you've ever been to our house, you know that our backyard is about the size of a postage stamp, so our gardening options are a bit limited! We have some lovely flower beds in the backyard, but the boys were very interested in doing a vegetable garden this year. So, we rented a 4 x 8 plot in our community gardens this season specifically for that purpose! The boys chose the vegetables, mapped out the plot, prepared the signs, chose the soil and nutrients, etc., etc. We finally finished our soccer season and got past the frost danger, so we were finally able to plant and put in our drip system this weekend! Our community gardens are about 1/2 mile away, so we will be walking or riding our bikes over there just about every day this summer to water. So, with a little luck and a lot of work, we should be harvesting the fruits of our labor in just a few months!
