GARDEN!

Well.....Im so excited to say that Andrew and I are building a garden! After 4 trips to Home Depot, we finally made progress today. Here is my documentation of our lovely day today. It first started with eating our breakfast on the porch while listening to music. Then we got to work.  We had all the essentials it was just time to assemble.  First we actually had to fix a water spicket that was broken so that we could have a hose in our backyard....very important part of gardening.  Fixed that.....then moved onto building the flower bed. Then we built the fence. We have a bunch of succulents that Andrew brought from San Luis Obispo, so we transplanted those. We also got a few house plants too......those definitely make me feel like my house is more of a home. :)

Starting on the flower bed!

We decided on a 4 x 8, I wanted 2 boxes, but Andrews mom is going to send us a bunch of goodies too including big pots so....Im waiting for those. Cant wait! :)

Taken while putting up the fence.......and dont laugh at me for the safety glasses in my hand. When all the grass dies in the winter.....it basically looks like we let a bail of hay loose in our backyard and when the wind picks up it is very bad for the eyes!

And the almost finished product! We have yet to buy the dirt, and all the seeds......its still a bit too cold to start planting but we wanted to get a head start on it. :)  It is completely dog proof too, so no more new soil beds for tex. and our rake and shovel handles will no longer get chewed on. I put a table in there too so I could have a nice work space. Did I mention how excited I am?

Our new tools, I never thought as a kid that I would be excited to have these. :)

June.....the one and only time she will be allowed in here.

Andrew using the hose in the backyard.....we havent had one at all until today. So thats nice :)

Thats it for now....but definitley expect more to come. I cant wait to see the fruits and veggies of our labors! :)
