2013 Garden

Here’s the Plan Stan:

A few weeks ago we prepped the garden. Jimmy expanded it by 4 ft. We added some dirt. Hannah, Max, Truman, and I hand-tilled it with shovels and then finally borrowed the neighbors mini tiller. A few days later we planted carrots, peas, calendula flowers, marigolds, spinach, and lettuce. And then … it just might have frozen. Aaaaaak!

This past week Jimmy planted zucchini, cucumber and some of the corn. Today we spotted some carrots poking through the dirt. Hurray. We might have some yummy crops after all.
I love our family garden. The kids are most excited about the peas… and corn. Our goal this year is to do better at keeping those stinkin’ soldier bugs off the zucchini. They are icky boogers.
