Our Garden - The Beginning

Weeding is a family affair!
We want to eat more organically and so we started creating our garden in one of our side yards. Everyone pitched in! Lauren, Megan and Madison did an excellent job helping me get the weeds out while Vince checked for placement of the first of three raised beds that he built.  In one afternoon, we were able to weed, dig a drainage trench, put down gravel, and complete the first raised bed. We are so excited to get this project underway and look forward harvesting our first veggies later on this summer and in the fall!
