Our 1st Garden

 We planted our first garden this year.  We made it a raised bed garden where we had enough room to work on either side without stepping into the garden.  In the beginning we were fighting off birds so Brit constructed these piped arches and we put netting across them to keep the birds out.  It worked great! 

 The kids loved being little helpers, especially with the watering and picking the fruits and vegetables.  

 One of my favorite things was just picking something right from the garden, wash the dirt off from the hose, and eating it right there.  The kids loved it too.  

 We planted tomatoes, cilantro, radishes, beets, bell peppers, 3 different types of chilies, watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkin, corn, snap peas, green beans, green onions, cucumbers, Armenian cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, squash, and zucchini.

We are truly grateful for all our bountiful blessing from our garden this year, how blessed we are!
