For mother's day I requested to build a garden. We have been talking about it for a while now and I'm not sure what made me want to do it this weekend. Maybe its because I keep seeing a learning opportunity my children are missing, I don't know. We all loaded up the truck on Saturday and drove to our local Lowe's to pick up material. We gathered are landscaping timbers, soil, and all the veggies we wanted to plant. I didn't want to wait on seeds to grow, so we went with a combination of different things. We picked up seeds for watermelon, cantelope, lima beans, green onions, and carrots (at the request of my 5 year old). We picked up some veggie plants as well such as green bell pepper, jalepenos, cucumber, strawberries, and squash. I think we have a wide variety and I'm sure before the end of the year we'll expand on it. Have a look at our new 4'X8' garden box.
