Garden Time

I decided to do square foot gardening this year.  I have heard really great things about it and I really hate to weed (and don't have time) so this seemed like a good fit for me.




The soil is a mixture of 1/3 composed manure, 1/3 peat moss and 1/3 vermiculite. 



Tanner really loves to help and he is a really hard worker.


We also made cages to keep the critters out of the garden.  After making these 2 though I decided not to make anymore.  Chicken wire is not easy to use and I was really happy when these were finished.
Morgan is my dirt girl.  She doesn't normally like the outdoor stuff, but she likes to dig in the dirt.  She took over the mixing of the dirt and she did a fantastic job.


Getting ready to load a box


 While Morgan was filling the last 2 boxes Madison was putting on the string


 Time to plant.  Tanner really likes to plant he had to be involved in planting everything


Tanner still planting


Almost finished, just the watering left to do.


  Beautiful plants.  Green beans, peppers and tomatoes
