Gardening

So we started a garden in our backyard over the past few weeks. We've had to work on it a little at a time tilling up the ground, getting all the grass and roots out, and then finally yesterday we were able to plant the seeds. Grandpa Brooks has been a huge help in getting us started and working with us to make sure we get it right, the kids have really enjoyed having him over to the house so much to help! We have to schedule everything around Alex's day's off but so far it's been a great learning experience for the kids and I know they will enjoy watching the seeds grow into plants and then eventually growing us food to eat!

The above pics were taken about 2 weeks ago after we started tilling the ground and were working on getting all the grass and roots out.

We planted seeds yesterday. The kids were fascinated! We have Green Beans, Squash, Carrots, Peas, Tomatoe, and Watermelon. Now we'll just wait and weed and watch for everything to start growing!
