The Garden


After a few weeks of working on it, the garden is finally completed. Kenny is still working on the walkways, but other then that, everything is in the ground. The weather has been so hit and miss it took longer then we had expected it to take.

I didn't get a before picture, but basically this side portion of the yard had nothing it it. Just weeds and dirt. We built the 4x4 beds.

We have 6 strawberry plants, 2 rows of cucumbers (they aren't looking so great right now), 5 cherry tomato plants of various varieties, 2 rows of broccoli (Kenny's request), 4 lettuce plants, 2 rows of carrots, 2 rows of sugar snap peas, and the last box that looks empty has pumpkins in it (we'll see how that goes).

We have had a couple issues with the dogs getting into the boxes. Dodger is in love with the smell of compost. I'm hoping with time they'll become less interested in it. Dodger is pretty much the reason the cucumber plants aren't looking so good. He has stomped on them a few to many times.
