Day 1 of our 2008 Garden

This year is the first year of our garden. We didn't get to it last year because we were still getting settled in at the beginning of growing season. We are still not quite ready but were determined to grow at least some of our own food. So, we have planted tomatoes, bell peppers, potatoes, spinach, carrots, snap beans, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, squash, and one grape vine.

We also put up a net type fence around it hoping to keep the dog and kids out of it. Of course afterwards we found out mom and dad still have their 3 foot fence and posts. At least we have a back up plan now... LOL. We are hoping the dog behaves though because we would have to come up with a gate if we have to put up the metal fence.

Now I just need to weed out the flower beds and get that taken care of before this weekend so we can get the last bed mulched. I am thinking about talking Jeff into doing one more bed for a small herb/flower garden in the front yard. I may be asking too much though. :-)

Off for today though... Benji has his Echo today and then his OT appointment. This evening Allie has her track meet. It was postponed Friday due to the weather.
