How will our garden grow?

We've made ourselves a little town garden this year. We are very excited about it - I hope it does well! I love fresh vegetables and am spoiled to them from the big gardens that Grandaddy grew each year at home.

We've talked about trying one since we got married, but this is the first year it has worked out. We are building up instead of digging down so as not to mess up our sprinkler system, and we are starting small to see how we do. We have 6 plants each of tomatoes, squash, and okra. The tomatoes and okra seem to be growing well. As for the squash, time will tell. We are on our second round of plants for them already. The first batch didn't survive the indoor period they all had to endure during the cold Easter weekend.

glad to see the progress. Keep up the good work! If you ever need a gardening buddy, give me and Lillie a call. She has a cute little sundress she can wear in the dirt.

That sounds fun! Isaac's favorite part so far is watering! He loves when the wind blows the mist his direction! :)
