Gardening

We are so excited to be gardening! Now if the weather would just start cooperating. We decided to have three different gardens this year. Well that meant tilling up more grass and creating a new spot for a garden. So we took the opposite corner of the yard (from where our original garden is) sprayed it with round-up, waited 3 weeks and then tilled it in last Saturday. Here are some pics but it really is bigger than it looks. It's at least as big as what we already have if not a little bigger. This will be for our annual garden for things like beans tomatoes, peppers, squashes, melons, etc.

all sprayed and dead (the mound will be included in the garden)
there's Steve tilling away (it took like 5-6 gos with the tiller to get it nice and fluffy)


all tilled in no more mounds just the curbing that needs to be disposed of-- oh yea and the tree!

Here's our perennial garden. We have raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and asparagus.

We had lots of Strawberry starts so the kids had a brilliant idea to sell them. But we had no luck. They gave up after 10 minutes of dancing up and down and yelling every time a car would drive by. So if anyone wants them we have over 20 starts you can just have!

Here's our spring garden. Lots of onions, lettuce, broccoli, radishes, and spinach
The radishes and spinach popped up last week and are really taking off now. If only the onions would start growing, but they do like a little warmth
