mary mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

it's official. our garden is IN. it's nothing short of a miracle!!

we started building our growboxes before avery was born, and we just finished the last one a little over a week ago. yay!!

we have three cute little boxes, filled with raspberries, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, peas, yellow squash, zucchini, and cucumbers.

every morning, max {and sometimes avery if she's awake} comes out with me to water.
he grabs his shovel and plays in the dirt while i water + pep talk the plants.

it has been so much more fulfilling having a garden of my own...somehow taking care of my parent's wasn't quite as fun. i'm excited to "reap the fruit of our labors" come late summer!!

  2. I love those raised gardens! It looks nothing short of exquisite. One day, hopefully by next summer, we'll be able to copy you. Enjoy those fruits.
