We're Gardeners!

Hi loved ones! We were worried our lil' blog was getting lonely since we've only used it at Christmastime, so we decided to bust it out to keep you all informed on our garden happenins!

We decided to start a veggie garden. My dad bought us a copy of Mel Bartholomew's Square Foot Gardening because the method is supposed to be fool proof (which is what we need!).

At first we decided to build one square foot garden....

.....but quickly decided to go big or stay home! So we ended up with 3 gardens.

Then the project grew from there. We realized that we needed to protect our precious produce from the rabbits with a fence. So we bought a picket fence, and our next step is to fashion a cute, yet functional barrier between our veggies and hungry critters.

Here's what we're growin':

Veggies: Peas, carrots, onions, spinach, swiss chard, various lettuces, tomatoes, strawberries, melons, squash, peppers.

Also: Herbs- Cilantro, basil, chives and oregano and lavender and lots of flowers!
