Grow Garden Grow

We have been wanting to start a garden in our backyard and after our Memorial Day weekend fun and talking with the Byers family we were finally motivated, inspired and educated enough to get started on it.  And when I say "we" I really should say "Joseph and Rich" because they have done all of the hard work...well, really just Rich!
On June 2nd they started buidling the garden box.
 Ella hung out and supervised the building of the garden.
 Then the following weekend we went to Home Deport and Lowe's to pick out the seeds and plants for the garden.  We have pumpkins, watermelons, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, basil, pineapple and carrots.  Quite the spread!
Ella helped pick out fruits and vegetables for the garden, too!

June 9th-planted the seeds and the plants after many, many bags of soil
We did cheat a little bit and didn't do all seeds since we are already into the summer so we needed a head start. 


And here the garden is on June 21st.  It is growing so well!

We can't wait to watch our garden grow!
