Our First Garden

I asked for a garden for Mother's Day and look what I got. Before there was just dead grass where you see dirt. Our landlord brought some furtilizing mulch and a rototiller and made this great spot. He was very kind to donate his time and labor to us. Mason only ate one handful of dirt the whole day and Rylie was a good sport to let us work. It took all day of working to get it done. We went from dead grass to a furtile, organized, planted and watered plot. Just a week later the corn is about an inch high as well as the watermelon and cantaloupe. We are so excited to see it growing so fast. Jacob and I both check on it at least twice a day. I hope it really grows something! So far, so good. Thanks Mom and Dad for teaching me how to plant a garden.

WOW! I am so impressed and if gardening is hereditary you will be amazing! It looks like such a big area also and that is really great.

Wow! I'm impressed. I love the taste of garden vegetables but can't even seem to keep a house plant alive.

Looks like fun! I want to plant a garden too, but being prego and all I think I will wait till next spring to get ambitious. Too bad we didn't live a little closer I could help you with your garden in return for a few planting tips for myself! Like Heidi I am impressed too of your garden! I can barely keep a house plant alive, so a garden for me would be a miracle!
