We have been excited to plant a garden ever since we moved to the country. Our last 2 years in a neighborhood Scott built me a small raised garden which was great for "getting my feet wet". But we are swimming this year! He plotted a 40' x 40' garden for us. I know its crazy to do for the first time, the summer I am pregnant...but oh well! Its in and we'll enjoy it! I spent some time online reading through people's advice and wisdom. I came up with my own 'garden plan'. We made some changes along the way but for the most part, here's the plan. We tried to space things so that it won't be overcrowded and we won't kill ourselves when its time to harvest. What a learning experience this will be! For all of us!
A friend came and tilled it up with his machine. It left the dirt fine as powder!
We couldn't have done that by hand!

Davis is actually posing for this picture. Although he did work very hard all day. He and Owen got a day off of school so they of course enjoyed that!
It was Scott's day off so he was able to help all day as well, even though he wasn't in the pictures. We decided to lay a walkway down the center for looks:) All in all, we got about 2/3 of the garden planted. The rest we'll plant in the next week. Now?...we wait.
