The Garden (getting started)

 Over the past weekend Ellen and I uprooted and hoed a portion of our yard to use for a Garden. With the weather easily approaching the 90s it was a rather hot day but we had a lot of fun with it. We have some fun plans for this garden but first and foremost is spending time together doing something constructive. We hope to put raised beds all along the fence for the veges, and will eventually put stone pavers in for the walkway around the peace garden.

around in their new dirt pile. Where is Jack?

We used grade stakes and twine to visualize where the walkway will go.
The veges will go along the outside by the fence, the middle of the
circle will be our peace garden, with butterfly flowers. 

The transplants: lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, and both sweet and hot peppers.
Not shown are the direct sow bunch: beans, radish, carrot, pumpkin and several herbs. 

This was our first garden bed when we moved into the house, we have turned
it into our yard waste compost pit.
