Remember my mother's day gift? Randy built me two 4' X 8' raised bed vegetable gardens. We worked side by side constructing the frame, hauling back wheelbarrow loads full of dirt and leveling it just right for planting.
So here it is, just two and half months later.....
Bed #1
My sweet little carrot tops!
Radishes, they are spicy and Ashlynn loves them!
Bed #2:
Pole Beans making their way up the trellis:
Tomatoes, the whole reason the have a garden!!!
In bed #1, we have tomatoes (all heirloom: three goliath, a cherokee purple, a sweet 100's cherry, & a german black); radishes, onions, carrots, peppers, pole beans, corn, oregano, and basil.
In bed #2 we have corn, snow peas, radishes, onions, bush beans, parsley, cilantro and chocolate mint (Ashlynn's favorite!).
The soil, seeds, and plants are all organic, we have our work cut out to keep the pests off. Fortunately, the internet has copious amounts of info on how to keep them out!!

That is SO fun! A garden, a fun-loving godly family, a beautiful country life. . .I just want to dive into that world and get to experience it for a few days:) :) :)
It was beautiful in person too :o) I miss you all already! Wish I was there to check it's progress in person. Enjoy the snow peas Ashlynnie!!
Love you and miss you,
Nicole
BC-It will be an adventure! My neighbor was just commenting how she loves seeing corn growing from her kitchen window in the middle of the suburbs!
Cole-We planted more peas so Ashlynnie would have a double crop!!
