Green Thumbs

We've talked about it for the last couple of years, but this year we made it happen. We have a garden box in our backyard (assembled by Seth himself!) and this past weekend we filled it and planted. It's a raised bed as you can see below, smaller than we'd originally thought about, but since this is our first we decided not to get in over our heads. Seth's Mom, Margaret, got me an AeroGarden for Christmas this past year and it's amazing! We grew herbs in it for a few months and used those in the kitchen all the time. We decided to get the AeroGarden Garden Starter Set and see what we could get going for a garden this year. Some of the seedlings are a little on the small side (carrots, beets), but others are huge and look like they're ready to produce something (green beans)! We will see, and I will do my best to let you know if we have any success. Fingers crossed!

I didn't realize how hard it would be to see here, but Seth rigged some irrigation for our little garden box

plants planted....now we wait
