Project Vegetable Garden

This is our first year with a real garden.

Matt's parents were kind enough to construct a garden box for us as well as provide us with all the necessary ingredients for filling it.

My little Pipe is interested and has a green thumb.

(Yay for grandparents who are happy to invest in their grandkids' education!)

Project Vegetable Garden here we come!

Ah, the excitement!

Problem is, depending on my little green thumb only goes so far.

She knows what a weed looks like about as much as I do!

(ie. No idea...)

So instead of entertaining you with a post filled with beautiful garden pictures a la Heather, I'm putting you to work!

Go!

1. Weed or plant??

2. Beet or weed??

3. Carrot or weed??

4. Thin the lettuce?

Yes or no?

5. Swiss chard ready to pick or let it grow some more??

6. Is this a bad sign for our tomato plants or normal?

7. Did I thin the cucumber enough??

I know.

You're laughing your bum off at me now.

But I am really getting into this whole gardening thing.

I might even be considered hardcore....

That's right.

I was out pulling weeds in the rain yesterday.

Hubby thought a pic in my rainy gardening attire would be fun.

And even though I don't know a whole lot about gardening, I'm enjoying learning together with my girls!

Piper was right out there pulling weeds with me.

Plus I know that these are good signs that we must be doing something right!

(And my attempt to be like Heather, my gardening hero...I can hear her comments as I type this. Hahaha! But seriously, check out her blog! It is tres cool!)
