Watch Our Garden Grow!!

Kenny has wanted to build a raised garden with the boys for a long time...it finally came to "fruition".  We had an exhaustive list of what we would have liked to plant based on what we like to eat but just barely missed the season for some of it.  For now we have zucchini, cantaloupe, basil, chives, rosemary, tomatoes, and onions.  In the fall we will add other fun stuff like broccoli and artichokes...YUM!

Big props to my hub who worked very hard to complete this project!  It seemed very straight forward but after several trips to Home Depot and a few mis-haps the project got bigger...although, he says he would do it again in a heart beat!  He loves his garden and goes to "check on it" a few times a day!  Very sweet :)

How fun! I have plenty of broccoli seeds from this years crop. Let me know if you'd like some for next season. Marie W.
