Starting A Garden

This weekend was beautiful.

Like real adults, Jon and I decided to work in the yard.

We also decided to try our hand at

gardening.

Jon sweetly told me that if I would plan what I wanted

for a garden, he would provide the labor.

I've never had my very own garden,

so I started researching.

I decided to try a raised bed garden.

Jon went out and bought the lumber to do one

box.

He also figured out how much soil we would need to fill

the three boxes that

I was hoping for.

Top soil appears to be gold. We would need

so much soil to fill three boxes, that we

decided to try one large box,

one small box,

and then we will till up an area of ground for whatever won't fit in our boxes.

It was fun buying seeds with the kids and planning what

we will grow.

I hope to be able to harvest lots of vegetables instead

of boxes of weeds.
