Planting the Garden

We celebrated Earth Day by planting our garden! We planted 4 kinds of tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, crooked neck squash, zucchini, and strawberries. We also bought some sweet basil, purple basil, garlic, cilantro, orange mint and pepper mint for our container herb garden. While our herbs STILL haven't found their permanent home, the vegetables are growing nicely! Papaw was a huge help with the garden. He tilled the garden for a second time, then he helped mark the rows and dig the holes for the plants. E was also a big help. Sporting his "My Favorite Color is Dirt" shirt from Meowmaw, he helped measure for the plants and supervise the beginning of the fencing process. We have a resident groundhog and a family of bunny rabbits who inhabit our yard so we are trying to keep them from eating all of our yummy produce. Here are some pictures from planting day. There will be more pictures soon as the plants continue to grow. And hopefully pictures of produce in the not-to-distant future!
