Grow Baby GROW!!!!

For the last several years we have been "long distance" gardeners. My mom has been nice enough to let us plant a garden in her backyard. One of the reasons why we were ready to buy a home was that we were ready live where our garden was so we could take care of it every day. We finally got around to digging out our garden.
We started out with this...

And did a lot of this...

And lots of picking up rocks

Did I mention rocks???

So it would look like this...

That is some good looking dirt!!!

Anna was a great helper planting things. She loves wearing her "work gloves" just like Daddy.

We did most of the major planting while kids were sleeping. Saturday we finished up planting. It was nice enough Anna had a little pool party while we planted. I guess you could say we had a Planting Pool Party.

It was a so much fun we invited the neighbor girl over to play. The girls had a great time together.

So our garden is planted. It looks really pretty! Hopefully it will grow. Devin's brother Kyle gave us a whole bunch of pepper and tomato plants. I have never planted such small plants. The ones we get from the store are usually twice as big. I guess this will be my lesson on faith this year. We'll do the best we can with our garden, and hopefully something will grow.

Even if nothing grows, you better believe we are going to keep it weed free. I'll post pictures in a month. Hopefully there will be a whole lot of green by then.
