The 18th Day!!

So it has been 18 days since we first planted.

Already we have seen some great

growth and are still waiting for others (if they ever come...?)

First here are our corn growing

I'm excited for the corn!

Next here are the sunflowers!

They are going to look so beautiful!

These are the zucchini squashes.

I think we have some munchers

to take care of!!

The leaves had a few nibble marks on them.

These are our peas!

These are what Jordan is look

forward to the most!

Finally there is carrots growing.

Not much,

but hopefully ongoing.

We are missing the cucumbers and tomatoes :(

But Jordan is optimistic!

Though we might have to try again later :(

Dresser

The same weekend that we planted our garden, Jordan, Marie, and I decided to re-purpose this old dresser.

This is how the dresser looked before we cleaned, sanded, and painted it.

It got dark as we were painting so we had to move the party inside!

Our masterpiece!!!

Our First Garden

Our Garden

This past weekend Jordan and I decided to plant our garden. Our backyard has an old garden plot that has been overgrown with grass and weeds.

Luckily for me Jordan planned ahead and watered the dirt, the night before, to make it easier to weed. Saturday we measured out the space we wanted for gardening and started weeding.

We actually had plans to go larger in our planning, but the trash can couldn't hold more than what we ended up with; an 8' x 7' plot.

We planted squash, sunflower, corn, cucumber, peas, tomatoes, and carrots.
I'm pretty sure that Jordan has some of his dad's green thumb, so I'm excited to see the "fruits and veggies" of our labor!!!
