Our (Crowded!) Little Garden

Last month, when Grandma Jobe was visiting, she built and planted a garden with the kids. We started with our frame....

and filled it up with dirt....

added water and dug around in the mud for awhile....

then planted all the seeds!

Here's the finished product! We planted:

corn

green beans

sunflowers

herbs

tomatoes

lettuce

peas

gourds

pumpkins

and watermelons!

It's a crowded little garden, but it has been so much fun to check on every day.

This picture is from a few weeks ago.

For anyone who knows me well, I definitely don't have a good track record with plants, but these are still alive! Luke says it's because Grandma planted them. Either way, we're excited to reap our harvest some day -- hopefully soon!
