Garden

My first vegetable garden!

Tulips we planted last fall in the backyard.

Our front steps.

  2. Heather, I'm delighted to see your new post. Did you bring in special dirt? When is your "frost free" date?

    We are working on a little garden too. Ours has lots of rocks involved. Your Grandpa was with us this past week and we sat out and looked at dirt and rocks. I just have onions and parsley coming up.

  3. Hi, Aunt Judy! I amended the soil with compost per the recommendation of some friends who have gardening experience here in Colorado. I have also fertilized the plants. I took the easy way and purchased starters from the local nursery since this was my first venture into vegetable gardening. Our "frost free" date is typically Mother's Day I am told. We planted (transplanted) tomatoes, peppers, onions, zucchini, and pumpkins. I also started some sunflowers from seeds in cups inside and put them in the ground outside today. It is fun to see how fast they grow!
    I'm glad you had a nice time with Grandpa. I enjoyed reading your updates to Aunt Kay on facebook.
