growing up is hard to do

With the new signs of life, we decided it was time to prepare the home for our new veggies.  In years past, we tilled up the soil and planted the seeds right into the ground.  Easy enough, but trying to keep the grass from growing in the garden rows and making sure the soil was what we wanted was a nuisance.  I kept seeing ideas for raised beds and thought it would be the perfect plan for our garden this year.

Off to Lowe's we went.  After 2 trailer loads of mulch, soil, and manure compost we were finally able to fill our 14'x14' area. We also put up a garden fence to hopefully avoid wildlife creatures from eating our food.

We spent Saturday and Sunday outside. Enjoying the beautiful weather, and even having a picnic inside the garden space.

I am having to re-germinate my eggplant, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, and bell peppers. None of them germinated--which is beyond me.  Hoping for better luck this round.

And a HUGE shout out to my husband and worked so hard on getting my garden ready.
