Our Little Garden

The kids and I needed a project to keep us busy so a few weeks ago we built a square foot garden and put it on the front porch. I let the kids pick a few fruits and veggies to plant and take care of. Serenity picked carrots and zucchini. Jared picked peas and watermelon. I picked a bell pepper and strawberries and we couldn't have a garden without tomatoes!

Today we finally had two ripe strawberries. Serenity picked the little one.

They were super juicy! Serenity ate it right away.

Jared picked the other, but he wouldn't eat it.

Looks fun. This makes me think that I might actually want to plant a garden, but maybe not....hmmm... Enjoy the fruits of your labors...It is so nice to go out and pick fresh fruits and veggies for dinner and lunch.

What a great way to keep busy. You guys did a great job! In three weeks we're supposed to go strawberry picking with our play group but Kirsten has an appointment. Yep, I'm bummed! Enjoy your strawberries!!!
