Well, we decided to try our hand at gardening this year. Our first task was to choose what to plant and where to plant it. Matt planned it all out and even drew up some sketches to figure out how much room we would need for each kind of crop. We decided to plant corn, bell peppers, cucumbers, onions, carrots, zucchini, parsley & basil. We thought about digging up part of the backyard ("Proposed Area" in the sketches) to give us a nice big garden, but luckily there was enough room in the planter area right outside of the back fence for all of our crops.

(Notice the accuracy...he even shows the trampoline & picnic table. I love it.)

This is our garden a month later...in June.

& zucchini starting to sprout up in the foreground.)

And finally...our garden in July.

It's been really fun to have our own garden and watch it grow. We can't wait to start munching on some yummy veggies...especially the corn.

Corn from your own garden is the best! If you have too much, we'll be happy to help you eat it! ;)
Nice job with the garden!
