Garden Ahoy!

Here are 3 of my daughters and our friend, Lydia. Tuesday night they decided to test-drive some hula hoops they purchased and borrowed for a youth group game. The hoops look so funny to me in that the way the camera caught them (in the dark, no less)--they make me think of psychedelic fireflies!



Here is the beginnings of our humble garden. Box 1 and box 2 as we affectionately call them.

They are square foot gardens. We are starting with 2, but I might add another one or two next year. We'll see how these produce first. The difference in the look is that box 2 has larger pieces of vermiculite.

Box 1, currently sporting 4 broccoli plants and some lettuce seeds (head and leaf).

Box 2, with a tomato bottom right and 4 strawberry plants in the center, potatoes in the bottom row (the "pit"), carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, and green beans coming...



I thought it would be fun to post pics of the garden as it grows. It will be neat to look back on the blog posts and see the progress.
