So after some planning and building, this summer I decided to give a raised-bed garden a try.  Our family uses a lot of fruits and vegetables, so I thought this would be a really cool thing for the kids to do too!  When I was younger we lived kinda out in the country and we always had a vegetable garden growing up.   I have always remembered how much fun I used to have in the garden and the excitement that comes from being able to pick the vegetables that you have worked so hard to make grow.  I really want my kids to be able to experience that, because I know that they will love it!   The boys and I planted our seeds about two weeks ago and finally we have some sprouts!  The kids were so excited and it’s so cute to see them because they can’t wait to check on their plants every morning.  We’ll see how this little garden grows….I will keep you guys updated!

We also got some strawberry plants from the local home store that we potted, the boys have already had a few fresh strawberries…

Planted some blueberry bushes too…they’re not ripe yet, so the boys are patiently waiting!

Our string beans are growing tall…

And of course we picked up a cute little pinwheel for the kiddos!
