Our Little Garden

Every year since we've been married, we have discussed how much we both want to plant a garden and see how things turn out.  However, our life has been crazy for the past few years.  During our first summer, we moved moved to North Carolina and lived with Bryan and Bridget (so no gardening there, although Bryan did have an awesome one and I picked up a few helpful hints).  The next summer, I was 5 months pregnant and was no longer excited about being outside in the hot southern climate unless it included a raft and a pool.  Last summer, we moved back to Alabama and lived in a rental house, which again meant we would be purchasing our veggies at the grocery store. 

This year, we are finally feeling settled.  Although our backyard isn't as big as the one we had in North Carolina, it has enough room for us to plant a small garden.  Neither of us wanted to pull weeds all summer, so we opted to plant in raised garden beds, which should make this whole process easier.  You can find the plans we used here if you are interested.   I am and obsessed with Anna White (the plan creator) and would love to be as handy as her someday! 

Sawyer was the "supervisor" of the project.

Again he is "helping" Daddy put some dirt in the beds.



the finished product!

We are very happy with the way the raised beds turned out, and I cannot wait to cook some vegetables that we actually grew.  I will keep you updated on the process!
