putting in a simple garden



My Mother's Day gift this year was the work and effort it took to put in a garden. I have been wanting one and since we are home a lot right now, it seemed like it would be fun to do. Trying to find just the right place in the yard, digging all the grass out, putting down some good soil...it took a good part of the day.

We didn't go nuts on getting it too big. It was an effort for me not to think too big. =)

It was really fun to work with the kids and grandparents. Tyce is a hard worker. He can out work any one of us.Tate on the other hand...wanders away and finds some mischief to get into.

We planted lettuce, onions, spinach, radishes and carrots. So far the lettuce seems to be doing the best.

Our radishes grew super fast, but too bad nobody liked to eat them (they were super spicy!). So glad for the help of grammy and papa. Fun.
