garden goodness

It is that time of year again; time to get that garden ready. We were complete amateurs last year (and still are), but our garden grew really well. We are keeping ours fairly simple again this year, but we did double the height of our raised bed as well as moved the location in our yard. Our fingers are crossed for another good garden. If anything, we know the kids will enjoy checking on it's growth each day. Enjoy some garden goodness below.

our garden grew

One of many fond childhood memories that I have, is of our little backyard garden. Georgia asked us several times if she could have a garden so we decided to give it a try this year. It truly has been a fun little project and both kids have looked forward to watering and checking on the garden each day. Back in April, Paul built a 2X6 raised garden bed. We planted tomatoes (beef steak and big beef), carrots, bib lettuce, rosemary and parsely. We were complete amateurs at gardening, but everything grew really well. I think our rainy June  definitely helped. We have enjoyed making salads and lettuce wraps with our lettuce, flavoring foods with our herbs and eating our tomatoes. 

Day 1

First tomato sighting

One of our summer bucket list items was a lemonade and produce stand. We have already made some sweet summer memories with our little garden that grew!
