Working hard

Every since we bought our first house in 2001 I have wanted to have a bounteous garden. In 2002 we planted this huge garden that we got stuff out of but I realized that it was a lot harder then I imagined to have a garden. We tried smaller gardens a few other times but because of different circumstances I didn't have the time to put into it. Madison did do a little garden once for personal progress and it turned out ok. When we moved into this house I was determined that we were going to have a garden so we left an area for it in the yard. I had seen many people be successful with raised bed gardens that were in planter boxes so I decided this is what I wanted to do. Kevin told me that he would support me in whatever I wanted to do but it was my project to tackle so I was in charge of the planter boxes. I looked at ones that we could build but really didn't have the time to do it. I also looked at kits that I could buy and put together but they were pricey. A few months ago I came across this local man that is retired and builds cedar garden boxes for next to nothing. I got in contact with him and Kevin looked at his work online and we decided this was our solution. We picked them up yesterday and just needed to sand them. I was busy working a fundraiser for Madison's choir account so Kevin and Ashley worked on it today. Ashley is always so excited to help Kevin with any project that he has. They worked on staining them and putting weed block down around them all day. Allison was enlisted to help move them because they were too heavy for Ashley and Madison is still a crippled.

I am so excited to have a garden this year.
