Our Garden.....Going BIG this year!!!
So, we went a little bigger this year with our garden ....plus decided to use a new "square foot garden" system that we heard about. We did lots of research and then went with it. It was a fun project to do as a whole family. The kids helped out tons. Giules basically did the whole fence around the strawberries herself. And yes, I planted lots too :) I just was the one taking all the pictures so I never got to be in any. And our family joke coming out of the project was that we don't think of it as "poop".....its all just "DIRT". But then Gena got it on her pants and cried "poop on me pants!!" LOL It was fun to teach the kids about the sowing/reaping principle.
We also have our favorite strawberries from two years ago but added a fence this year to keep those bunnies away!!!! So, we shall see how it goes. We are hoping for tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, lettuce, carrots, peas, corn, beets, and more. Half of it is planted and the remaining seeds/plants will go in late April/Early May. The kids and I also have some decorating to do. We think the garden needs some color!!! More pictures to come ;)
