April Showers Bring . . . Produce! (we hope)








On Saturday we got the garden all set up. We put in a square foot garden last year, so all we had to do this year was add some more compost to the soil and put the grid back on top of the boxes. Once it was all set up we planted some spinach, lettuce, and peas.
Parker really wanted to help Adam hammer in the nails, so Adam started the nail and then let Parker go to town. Everyone's fingers managed to stay intact.
While the big kids worked, Meredith enjoyed her lunch al fresco on the deck.
About 20 minutes after the work was done it started pouring, so those seeds got a good start!

We put in our first SFG this year...we are so excited to reap the harvest! Though we are learning all sorts of things about gardening in the southern climate...there are some similarities, but several differences since winters are so mild...it's a year-round deal down here!
