A couple weeks ago we got to work on our garden beds, by we, I mean John! He does all the hard work of readying the garden and planting it, I handle the maintenance and harvesting. He is so good to me. The girls do help him us both so it is a family garden. We do not have the prettiest garden but we have had some good luck with what we grow. Last year my zucchini got taken over by bugs so I did not get as much as I would have liked, hopefully we will not have that happen this year.
This year we are growing, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes,red and yellow bell peppers, onions, jalapenos and a few other peppers that I do not remember the name of. We also plan to get plant some green beans in our smallest bed. We need to do that soon, as I write this I realize I forgot about those. We grow those from seed along with cantaloupe from seed but everything else we buy small plants. Next year, I would really like to grow more from seed. For some reason that really makes me nervous so I have not tried it yet. We have never grown cantaloupe but my neighbor always does and his are fabulous so I am so hoping that it works out for us.
Here is John working away on the garden making a small new bed just for the cantaloupe.
Behind our garage is where we have our garden, we also have some large piles of dirt there where Livvie loves to jump. My kids are always dirty, thanks in part to these dirt piles. They make great place to play, the girls will be sad when they are gone which will hopefully be soon!!
