Our Garden

After the boys' flag football game Saturday morning, Roddy's parent's (Meme and Papa) and my Dad (Mom was watching my nephew) came over to help me build raised beds for a vegetable garden. We used the spot where the grass was dead from the swimming pool this summer. Iris helped Papaw build the frames.Everyone pitched in. Roddy and Papa put up a fence to keep the bunnies out. Roddy had kept the poles from the old trampoline and used them as the posts.
We didn't plant anything yet, but I have the seeds and several plants to go in later this week.

The finished product was more than I even expected! I'm so excited. Thanks Meme, Papa, Dad and Roddy, Emma, Iris, Gray, Jackson and Charlie for all your help!

I'm so excited for you. Hopefully we can get a good garden in this year. Jeff is our resident gardener. He's still experimenting to see what grows around here. I hope yours goes well!

How fun! I grew up eating organic vegetables from our garden every summer in NJ...what great memories I have with my parents, as will your kids!

Just curious because I have always wanted to plant a garden in our back yard. We always had one growing up, but the raccoons would always get to it. Any suggestions?
