Our Garden...

We haven't planted a vegetable garden for years. When the boys were small, we grew a family garden every year...everyone got to choose what they wanted to grow and everyone had to work in the garden. As the kids got older, they still wanted to help choose the vegetables, but somehow I seemed to do all the work! Then once we put in the basketball court, the garden would take a beating because it was located directly behind the court. Eventually we gave up on the garden and planted grass seed.

This year, Steve and I decided we really wanted to grow a garden again. My hubby actually dug up the grass and tilled the soil the old fashioned way...with a shovel!

Tilling the soil...

Much to our delight, everything is growing well. Since we planted we have had rain and hail, but the garden is still thriving. Can't wait to start harvesting...
