Our {first} Garden

Happy Tuesday! Today I want to show you my first ever garden. I am rather proud of it….especially when I saw this…..

seedling plant

In my unbiased opinion, that is the HAPPIEST little veggie seedling ever.  Looks like its got ginormous ears, that are completely adorable.

{ok, maybe i’m obsessing a little too much over a 2 inch plant, but hey, you don’t know how black my thumb is! i’ve killed every plant ever given to me. in a matter of days usually.}

Here’s how that little guy came about.

vegatable garden

  1. First we took out the grass and weeds.
  2. Davis built a frame for our soon-to-be raised planter garden.
  3. Davis loosened up the dirt with a shovel and then we evened out the plot.
  4. We put wire down and secured to the wood to hopefully protect from pesky rodents. {we’ll see if it works!!}
  5. We then filled the garden with clean dirt.
  6. Then I planted seeds and marked them with paint stir sticks.

Now making this garden was not all business…

 

There were a plethora of worms to hunt and find. and hold. and tickle. Davis had fun teaching Gavin how fun worms can be. {and how to gross mommy out}

spring vegetableSo that’s how this cutie sprouted.

It now has some Tomato friends and Strawberries. And I’m just praying they continue growing!

Do you plant a garden? Or have a black thumb like me?
