Doesn't that sound like a cheesy Michael McLean song? Wait, maybe it is. Oh yes, I just checked. It's the name of one his albums.
Well, we got ours planted about a month ago. Thanks to my brother Alex driving up 2 hours with his wonderful wife, Marci and their 3 girls! We did some serious yard work and tore the ground apart to double the garden size. Sadly, it was still not big enough to plant everything we wanted to. Tyler's section of herbs is one reason why. He planted like 10 of them, including 3 rosemary plants. Yes, he likes his fresh herbs.
And since then we have managed not to kill the plants yet, even after many nightly frosts. We made paper hats to cover the smaller plants overnight. They've all begun to peek their heads above the dirt. It's pretty exciting! Our first garden....awwwwww.
Cecily helping out by being a good girl all day.
Jocelyn very concerned about dirt getting on her shoes.
My sexy hubby using mean machines.
Samuel trying hard to smile for real. He actually enjoyed planting.
Jcoelyn sporting some seeds.
No wonder my back hurts all the time. I don't bend over properly. Alex standing by. He stayed up till 4 am working on his Masters thesis and he still helped us out all day.
It was hard work but the weather was perfect. But I think it'll feel real good to gather the fruit of our labors.
Great job. Just imagine our garden growing up--it covered both the lots the Allred's and Nordgren's houses are on (the 2 houses behind Gramma's). Grandpa tilled it with a real tractor. We had some serious peas every year. I miss those peas.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I love home grown food. Hopefully we can get some tomato plants planted before it's too late.
