Yesterday we went to Menards and bought our veggie plants for the garden. We also bought more sand for the kids' sandbox. They were happy. Today we bought the parts to the rain barrel.
So what did we buy to plant in our garden?? I'm so glad you asked!
We have three tomato plants. 2 Early Girl plants and 1 Big Boy plant. Wayne and I thought that was funny because it fit perfectly with the kids LOL Sophia was our early girl and Connor is our big boy. LOL I guess we're dorks like that.
Okay so we also got 2 bell pepper plants, 2 broccoli plants, 2 jalapeno plants and some basil plants. Connor and I had already started the seeds for the carrots and radishes so we just have to wait for them to grow. Of course we also have strawberries from last year that already have strawberries growing. Have to wait for them to get bigger and ripen. WOOHOO!!
This is going to be a great garden this year. We have also planted something new every year we have done a garden. The first year it was the whole garden. Last year we did cucumbers and corn. They both failed pretty miserably. This year the new things are the carrots, broccoli and radishes. Should be fun since I have never grown root veggies before. :)
Hopefully tomorrow Wayne will have the rain barrel ready to go! I can't wait to see it in action. I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as everything is going.
