My concrete garden before....
That's right. I'm not planting in the ground here anymore...too many deer, squirrels, cats, dogs and kids to interfere with the fruit we MAY be able to grow. Our solution....cattle troughs!
Layla likes it...
EG too!
Got them in place.
Bring on the dirt!
Korduroy doesn't look happy.
But that didn't stop him from playing in it.
EG played in it too...and helped me and her dad fill the troughs.
How long do you suppose it would have taken at that rate?
Filled with dirt and fertilizer....ready to go!
EG and I spent Friday afternoon planting tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, arugula, yellow squash, basil, and cilantro. We had a blast!
The Friday gardening inspired us to put pine straw out in the yard this weekend. When we first moved here I thought it was insane to intentionally put pine needles in your yard...here we are 2.5 years later doing exactly that. And I like it!
A couple of before shots.
Here we are after.

Yay! Good work. Where did you get the pine NEEDLES? Layla saw the pic of her and said is that ME?? Of course I assumed it was EG and said PSH NO! THen I looked. And it was. Outsmarted by the 4 year old again.
ReplyDeleteThe NEEDLES came from the local Lowes at the bargain price of $3.50 a bale. It was more work than I thought it would be....20 bales later and I was over it!
ReplyDeleteNever assume you are right when a 4 year old is involved.....
It looks great!
