Garden Update

How does your garden grow? Ours is going gangbusters! We are so excited so see how well our garden is doing. I can't believe Bruce and I have finally found a compromise between my childhood experience of a garden (tomatoes on the deck) and his childhood (1/4 acre of garden). See the progress:

Our First Square Foot Garden!

Denise and Cory should be pleased to know that they have inspired us to build our own square foot garden and here is the result.

We used old wood that Tom wasn't using and gathered our supplies from local home improvement stores. We bought some small plants and some seeds. It is very satisfying when after only 4 days the beans are 2" tall! We built the garden boxes about 2 weeks ago and see how well it's doing now. We already have a tomato about the size of a marble and the three older pepper plants have multiple peppers beginning to grow.

We can hardly wait to enjoy our first harvest, which may be sooner than we thought!
