June 2014: My first Garden

I just planted my first vegetable garden this week (with the help of my mom - thank you mom!!...and my husband who is the best darned tiller in all of Aitkin County). I have never planted a garden, I've had no experience with a garden..heck...I don't think I've ever even watered a garden! so for the past few months I've been talking to a lot of people to get ideas, suggestions, and tips (including my cousin Traci who has the hilton of all vegetable gardens! (Thanks Traci!)).

So I booked my mom to come up for a few days so that we could get started. Unfortunately, I didn't get started early enough to plan my own seeds (which have to be done inside anyway) so we set out to buy already sprouted veggies to plan in the garden...

(P.S...these two above pictures pretty much sums up my girls lately. Olivya is totally a go-with-the-flow kind of girl and just loves whatever life brings her. Adelyn is almost 3 and life just seems so hard for her! Everything is a struggle or a whining moment for her...not a fan of this stage). 

After buying our plants and prepping the garden (weeding it and tilling it - which my mom and husband did most of the work on actually), the garden was looking ready to go...

And then I mapped out where I wanted what to go, and we went to town digging and planting...

In the garden we planted tomatoes (2 different kinds), cucumbers, lettuce, asparagus, carotts, green beans, squash, red, yellow and green bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers! Yum!! Can't wait for the harvesting to begin

 

let it Grow...let it Grow... (sung to the tune of Frozen's Let it Go...let it go...which has been sung way too much in our house hold lately).
