We decided to put out a small vegetable garden this year. We are all excited to see what we will get! It's a little hard to grow things in sand so Daddy and Sam worked some compost into the plot hoping for the best. (As you can see Sam had mostly a supervisory position)
Sam is a really hard worker and we let him get his own hoe from Lowes...It happened to be the only hoe we own so it really came in handy :-) He also picked alot of the seeds we put out which consisted of green beans, radishes, tomatoes, yellow squash, cucumbers, peppers, carrots and basil. (it's a really small garden so we just put one row of each item out)
The favorite part of every gardening experience...the water hose! Maddie and Daddy also put some Sunflowers out along our fence row.
Everybody got in on the action for a little while, then after a few plants/ rows were trampled, the kids went and played! We are so grateful for the beautiful weather we have had this Spring...and now we are hoping for a bountiful harvest! The kids ran outside this morning to see if any of the seeds had popped up...hoping they come up soon!

Good Job on the garden. I liked ours we had but I didn't stay on top of the weeds like I should have and it became a place for bugs and snakes to hide out and we stopped planting a garden. maybe we will start another one but not as big as the last one. Make sure you have enough room for the cucumbers to vine out. They will spread like watermelons. Fresh fruits and veggies are sooo good.
