The Garden


We've got roses!! So FUN! Although it has been sucha pain to keep the aphids off. Grr.

I have planted the garden! I say 'I' because I did it all by myself- with some help from Liv! Brett takes care of the HUGE lawn. Mowing, weeding, edging, etc. It is quite the task. We are excited to actually have room for a garden (and it was already in place). It took SO much weeding and tilling just to get it ready for the plants. We have SOO much to weed these days. I will have to take a picture of all the other spaces that aren't just the vegetable garden area. Anyway, I really love all this gardening. It is so fun and rewarding. Although VERY time consuming.
My little helper in the garden saying "take a picture of Barbie!" I think Barbie gets as much photo time as the girls!!

I just love her! What was crazy Olivia actually doing in that pic?

Your garden looks lovely as does your yard. Good job to both of you! I'm so happy you like gardening!

Your yard looks great! I just looked back at about 6 posts because I haven't signed in for awhile. Your girls are growing up and are so cute. David and I loved the video of Olivia eating pink yogurt. She is such a cutie...and seems like such a happy little girl to have around. I am with you on loving Springtime...and I cannot wait for summer and NO more rain. Oh...your garden spot looks great. I love that you have grass around it.
