Garden Project

For the past week, we have been busy getting our garden ready. First, we built a garden box for a raised bed. Our garden spot was a bit low last year, so our plants were flooded. Hopefully, this will help produce more veggies!Then, we had dirt delivered! This was almost 17 tons! Yes, this was way too much, but we were able to fill up all of our flower beds with good topsoil as well as share with our neighbors.
This is only about 1/2 our pile.
You can see the outline where the dirt had been!


Then, it was time to plan the veggies!
First, we planted tomatoes. . .
. . . followed by cucumbers, carrots, peppers, zucchini and squash.
No, it didn't all fit in the box, so we spread it around the box. We'll see how it does!

We just did one too! Our teachers are on strike so I have been keeping the kids at home. We are doing school work but also started our garden. Such a fun project! Now can I grow anything???? We'll have to see.

Awesome! I've got my "garden" started inside my house. It's a bit depressing when I see the fabulousness of your garden! Yay!
