Growing a Garden...

We've been working some more on our garden. The soil here is so TERRIBLE!! It's just a whole bunch of clay and rocks! If any of our plants actually survive, it'll be a miracle! Those will be some hearty plants!

We rented a tiller for a Saturday morning and Mike went to work. We just tilled right over the grass--silly that our builder wouldn't not put the grass right there. All that hard work of laying sod...and we just ripped it up! Oh well! It wasn't our hard work.


We've spent several evenings in the garden--I think Katelyn eats more dirt then anything else, but it's fun to have her around. We've actually been surprised--the evenings have been so nice! Since we are so close to the coast, we have an almost constant breeze--which keeps the temperature down and the bugs away! So, due to our cool evenings we've been planting our little seeds and watching them grow--and shocker, shocker, shocker--things are growing!

A Gardener just like Grandpa!The aftermath of dirt! Guess we'll change those PJ's!
