I finally got out and planted the garden! Ella and I had been sick for the past week and a half since we built the garden box {here}, and I was chomping at the bit to get it done.
It may not look like much, but I am SO excited for all of my plants! Actually, I am so excited for the yummy fresh food that will come from these beautiful plants.
We planted zuchinni, yellow squash, cucumbers {I still need to add the trellis for these}, summer squash,
green, red, and orange bell peppers, spicy peppers,
onions, carrots, lettuce, basil, cilantro, and spinach.
I also planted 7 different types of tomatoes. Yes, I recognize that is a little excessive for a family of 3 1/2... but, I couldn't help myself. I LOVE tomatoes and I wanted to try out a couple of the heirloom varieties. I still need to put their cages on them.
Aren't these little onion starts so pretty? Ella had so much fun playing with them and "helping" me to plant. As a matter of fact she helped me to cover them with dirt... and then proceeded to uncover all of them while I was planting the cucumbers. I am going to giggle if I have onions popping up all over the place!
And here it is.... proof that I haven't killed the new sod! Ella and I are loving running around barefoot in the new grass.
I am going to be planting beans and sunflowers somewhere else in the yard. I sure love getting my hands dirty while being outside with my little lovely.
What are you planting this spring?
