Planting the Garden

Garden 2011

Charlie and Mom got around to planting the garden yesterday. We went to Nick's Garden center and bought vegetable starts this year instead of trying our hand at seeds. Part of Charlie's Make a Wish day included the volunteer team building a 16' x 11' raised bed garden! Charlie has been very excited about planing vegetables. Hopefully in 70-120 days we will have a nice crop of broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, seedless cucumbers, brussels sprouts, pumpkins, yellow corn, serrano chilies, jalapeno peppers and some other pepper Chad picked out in hopes of salsa making. We will try to post pictures of the garden in progress this summer. Although I am afraid I may need to have a few tree branches trimmed back to allow for more sunlight in the area. We'll see...
