Planting our first garden

Ever since we knew we were going to be moving out to the country, the idea of having our own family garden had been brewing in the back of my mind.  This Spring we finally got started on it.  Small, but started we did.

I purchased six tomato plants, and four sweet pepper plants.

When we were having dinner that eve, I was telling Byron how overwhelmed I was feeling with life.  He gave me a serious look and asked me:  "why again are we starting a garden?"  He did not like the idea of it.  Long story short, when he did his weekly Lowes run that following Saturday, he came across a book on gardening with children, purchased it, and has been the one family member who is the most excited about it.  It has been fun having Daddy on board on this new family adventure.

Here are a few pictures of the afternoon we started the garden --

LOVE IT!! Daddy would like to follow a book!!! Great way to begin!! I JUST LOVE THE PHOTOS and how you included that little NAMITO sleeping while everyone is working. BTW mommy, did you get your hands dirty too? Remember, the radish/cilantro garden was really truly your first garden, and I had no idea you had planned on doing one!
