The Garden Is In...

Shortly after we got our fence, we began putting in our vegetable garden! We lost count (after about 50) of how many bags of top soil we went through to fill it, but we've got enough to finish out the summer and maybe even the fall. Right now its about 25 feet long, but Jeff's hoping to take it all the way across the back and down the left side!

Here's the view from a distance. Notice how lovely our grass is (or lack there of!). We'll be working on that in the fall!!!

This is what it looked like when we first got it planted. The rounded part in the corner is the herb garden. The herbs aren't really doing that great, but we're holding out hope!

This is what the plants look like today. We started them in cups in the house and they have REALLY taken off since we put them in the ground to stretch out! We've got (from left to right), tomatoes, cucumbers, squash (maybe yellow, but I think I accidently planted butternut), and watermelon!

Right now we have broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and butternut squash (again?) started in our kitchen for the fall garden. We'll also plant snap peas, spinach, lettuce, and carrots depending on how much room we have!

Yum, yum.
