Garden

It has rained a lot this spring! We were finally able to plant our garden on Saturday June 10th. Our neighbors were nice to rototill it for us. We marked a little area for a "sandbox" and then Audrey made the fence for it. Benson and the kids were a great help and did a great job while I took care of Jackson and was still getting over mastitis and a bladder infection. I had Jackson in a wrap and had a little pocket for seed packets.

In one of the pictures you can see some plants growing behind the lilac bush close to the fence. Those are the strawberry starts that we got from a neighbor right before another snowstorm. It took a few days before we could get them in the ground. They are growing amazingly well now. Hurray! We planted corn, peas, beans, carrots, one pumpkin plant, 2 cucumber plants and 3 tomato plants. The beans and carrots didn't come up very well and the corn didn't come up at all. So on Saturday Jessica, Jackson and I planted peas where the corn was supposed to be and weeded like crazy. It looks sooo much better!:)
