Our Garden

When we lived in Arkansas, we owned almost two acres in the country.

We had room to roam and romp.

Here in the city, our property taxes are actually higher.

And included in that price tag, we have no backyard.

Despite this, David has been working on a raised garden plot for our family.

It is plenty big for the three of us.

It has been tenderly built and filled with nutrients.

with the best workers in Detroit.

After all, they are Southerners. : )

The garden has been raked and aerated.

And David has constructed a small irrigation system for ease of watering.

PVC piping, connected together with a hose attachment, and drilled with systematic holes

will provide my boys with outdoor work  fun all summer long.

Seeds have been planted.

Had it been my way, I would have opted for plants.

But, alas, David likes to do things the hard  old fashioned way.

{Grin!}

And I, obviously, wasn't consulted on the matter.

: )

Busy hands make light work.

Cherry tomatoes, Big Boy tomatoes, broccoli, kohlrabi, cucumbers, green beans, and peppers.

Right off the back yard, we can protect our garden

from hungry seagulls

and the neighborhood foot traffic.

With lots of sunshine...

And {TADA!} water!

Our little seeds will sprout and grow!

We only need to make sure..

that a certain helper doesn't make mud pies

while Daddy is at work and Mommy isn't watching! : )
