| Proud girl and her first garden |
Over the past two days we have begun our first garden. For all of you gardeners out there, we are all novices in this household, so we are just crossing our fingers it all works! We did get lots of advice on our two blueberry bushes. How to plant them, how much water they need, how big they'll get, and yes, he says they will have berries this summer! Fingers crossed!
Emily helped build our raised bed that we purchased online
through www.minifarmbox.com. We put it together in about 10 minutes! Way cool! We did this on Saturday, and today after church, we all worked on digging the holes, filling the raised bed with soil, and planting the seeds and blueberry bushes! Emily was so helpful! She did a lot of digging, helped put the seeds in the holes, and did all of the watering! Way to go babe! We will be sure to keep you updated on our progress. We planted two kinds of lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, and two kinds of blueberry bushes. We are also going to try tomatoes and possibly peppers in pots on the patio.
Emily is very excited and thinks we need a scarecrow to scare away the birds. Hee hee hee!
Love,
Kathy
