Farming…sort of

We keep talking about planting a garden, but last week we actually started!

My Dad was in town, and he figured out how to get our irrigation system functioning!  He is so SMART!! When we bought the place we were told nothing really works.  This encouraged me to get gardening!

A few weeks back we planted seed in a little greenhouse. We planted sweet corn, spinach, peppers,and basil. This picture doesn’t have the corn in the bin, because it is planted!

Thats right, planted!   Jared leveled out the space where I took out all the rocks and my Dad fixed the water, so we bought Miracle Grow dirt and planted!  There are 12 seeds growing…well actually 10 since Pickle and Pepper jumped in there once or twice.  This picture is taken from the rock pile.

speaking of the rock pile…we found a good use for the rocks!  We are using them to fill in areas around the perimeter of the yard where Pickle can escape!  The pile is about 1/2 the size we started with…thanks Pickle 🙂

The other thing I did was build an above ground planter bed thing….for the vegetable/herb garden.

Time to buy moe DIRT!!!!!
