Garden 2011

We made our first attempt this summer to plant a garden. Brandon and the kids built a raised bed and we all helped plant the seeds. We planted eight sections in the 4x8 bed. There are two types of tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, green beans, cilantro, peas and watermelon (Ben's lone contribution).

The goal is to have a fun family project and see if it will encourage eating of more vegetables. We haven't made it to the second part yet, but we are getting ready to be able to pick some things and find out. In the meantime we have had fun and have really enjoyed watching everything grow.
