Look at our garden grow!
Back in April, Rob and my Dad spent a Saturday getting compost (stunk up our whole neighborhood for a day or two), using the rototiller, and planting an amazing garden. Rob has wanted a garden since before I met him. When we were first married, he was taking a philosophy of food class and he had this big red book of gardening and before bed each night he would read a little. He has made spreadsheets of what grows well next to each other, how many of each plant he should have, how much water is best... and so on, and so on. Sound a little nerdy? Yes. But, he is very dedicated to our garden and takes a lot of pride in what he is doing, and I love and respect that about him.
Rob did the whole irrigation system himself, and literally spent 9 hours planting that Saturday.
Scarlett was, of course, a huge helper. She made sure Granddad had just the right measurements for where to plant the corn.
She was also excellent at getting dirt from various spots in the garden to place where she felt it was needed.
A few short weeks later... look at all that greenery!
I can't wait to taste this sweet corn.
We have several types of lettuces, tomatoes, beans, peppers, and onions. Corn, spinach, cucumber, zucchini, pumpkin and watermelon.
