Getting Ready to Grow our Garden

Carter and I took full advantage of the beautiful weather on Saturday by planting our seeds for the garden. Carter so enjoyed the little garden we created last year and couldn't wait to get this season started. He picked the seeds, distributed the soil into the growing pots and sowed the seeds. This year Brian will have to enlarge our garden considerably as we have planted the following...zucchini, squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelon, carrots, cantaloupe, peas, sunflowers and zinnias. Quite an undertaking for two novice vegetable gardeners!! We also chose some flower seed packets to plant in the flower beds around the yard and must get them planted soon. It is so cool that Carter seems to share my love of gardening and it is amazing to watch his excitement over something that I enjoy so much.

Please be sure to check back for pictures that will chronicle the progress of our little plants and with any luck we will have plenty of produce to share with all of you!
