A garden for Olivia

This month, Olivia is learning about growing things at preschool and we decided it would be fun to have a garden. The dirt in our yard is like concrete with big rocks mixed in, so we decided to do a raised garden bed. Andre did a terrific job building the box out of untreated cedar and filling it with topsoil and compost. Olivia was so excited to start planting! We can't wait to see things grow!

The box is built and getting filled with dirt

Andre is turing into such a handyman!
Thanks daddy! You're the best!
Ready for the seeds! We are planting peas, carrots, beets, some flowers and tomatoes.
Put the peas right here...
