growing green

We are for real going green. Last year Aaron planted our first garden, but this year he really worked his fingers to the bone. The garden is in this separate fenced in area next to our house; I think the people that lived there before us parked their ATV’s there. You can’t really see in these pictures, but he leveled it all out, put weed paper down, laid flagstone all around the garden, made the garden box, planted the veggies & herbs, & built a sprinkler system (that uses rainwater). What in the world! That is a lot of work. We picked our first squash this past weekend, and I can’t wait to enjoy the rest of veggies. We are growing: cilantro, basil, rosemary, cherry tomatoes, 2 other breeds of tomatoes, bell peppers, squash, zucchini, jalapenos, and cucumbers. I’ll keep you guys in the loop about all the yummy stuff we are cooking up with our home grown goods!
