A quick garden update...
Almost everything has been planted. I still have to plant the morning glories and beans around the teepee for the second time because the first time was unsucessful. We had to replace a ton of topsoil that we bought with better dirt from our neighbor's compost pile. (Jack and Lorraine save the day once again.) With the new dirt everything we had planted is much happier and thriving once again. It was sad to watch the little seedlings that BP tended to in our sunroom slowly wither away when we transplanted them into the "bad" dirt. Thank goodness we figured out the problem just in time and before we lost everything. Apparently we had a compaction problem, at least that is what our internet research told us. Live and learn!
So far we have an herb garden with...
Basil
Thyme
Oregano
Lavendar
Mint
Sage
Pineapple Sage
Rosemary
We have a vegetable garden with...
Sweet Cherry Tomatoes
Yellow Heirloom Tomatoes
Pink Heirloom Tomatoes
Sweet Peppers
Broccoli
Zuchini
Slicing Cucumbers
Pickling Cucumbers
Heirloom Carrots
Regular Carrots
Peas
Beans
We have a flower garden with...
Zinnias
Sunflowers
Nasturiums
Pansies
Scented Geraniums
The garden has been more work than I ever realized, but so fun and totally worth it. We (all four of us) have spent many hours together outside enjoying each other, talking, and playing while we work. It has been a learning expereince in many ways. I will keep you posted as our garden grows.

Wo! That's a lot of veggies. You're a true greenthumb now. BP's daddy did such a great job with the structure. I'd love to show Buby your project on Friday.
I love it. I can't believe how much work you guys have done! Amazing. Looking forward to more photos.
This is awesome - I'm so proud of you guys. I hope that the rest of the plants do well and you reap many benefits from all of your hard work!!
Wow, that is really impressive! I can't wait to see it.
