Garden 2nd Season

I have started my 2009 garden.  I spend about three hours pulling weeds.  about 4 hours tilling the soil, it was pretty hard, and then one hour at home depot buying a few plants and compost and two new tomato trellises.  
And then finally with the help of my niece Eliza we mixed the compost in with the dirt, planted the seeds, stuck the labeled signs into the ground and watered.  

Eliza was so cute.  She was so excited to plant the flowers.  It was cool that she was so into it and was actually apart of all the process, because on Wed when I watched her and porter we spent a good amount of time in the garden doing the weeding.



























All that is left to do now is set up the watering system.  This years crop includes:
-Zucchini
-Butternut squash
- Cucumbers
- Snap peas
- Roma Tomatoes
- Bell Peppers
- Basil
- Green Onions
- Spinach
- Carrots
- Other Herbs
- Few Flowers

Eliza had a blast. Thankyou for being so patient with her and allowing her to come over and help! She still talks about it and wonders if they are growing yet.

Katie, you are amazing!! I can't believe you have time for a garden after having a baby a few months ago. What is my excuse? I really want to try one this year--maybe I'll call you for pointers.

That's amazing! I can't wait. And maybe the decorated cucumber dressed as a mouse (was that it?) will make a reappearance at a reunion this year. hahaha.
