Vegetable Garden

The house that we moved into last month has two raised beds in the backyard all ready for a garden. We've never had a garden before and usually don't know what we are doing with plants. But, we decided to give it a try because we love fresh veggies! On Saturday morning we bought some plants for the garden and got everything planted before lunch. It was good timing because the rest of the weekend it has been raining. We planted tomatoes (large and cherry), cucumbers, zucchini, peppers (red/green/ and some hot ones Curt wanted to try), cilantro, basil, carrots, green beans, cantaloupe, and watermelon (that was Ben's pick...I guess we'll see how much room it takes up). Hopefully we will end up with some good things to eat later in the summer and I'm sure we'll learn some things to do differently for next year.



The empty gardens all ready to be planted.



We placed the plants around to try to figure out where we wanted everything.

Ben brought the plants to Curt after they soaked in a bucket for a few minutes. That was what the directions on the container said to do.
