How Does Your Garden Grow?

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? Like this. Well, this is the start of it anyway, thanks to a lot of hard prep work by Grandpa! Daddy's digging the holes for our very first tomato plants ... much rejoicing!
Mommy and I place the precious gems in the holes ...
... and we decided to plant some other veggies just for fun. Here are our bush beans ...




... and some radish seeds. These should take ... :)




OK, now fence it up, set the soaker hose (another good idea, Grandpa!) and watch it grow.


Funny (or not so funny) note ... Daddy sprinkled Preen all over to keep the weeds out since it's 'garden safe' ... funny part is that Preen kills everything BEFORE it starts to sprout. So ... garden safe, yes, but only after all the shoots are up and established. Whooops. So we suppose this will be an experiment to see how effective it is ... then probably back to the drawing board and attempt a replant in a couple weekends. At least our precious tomatoes are safe!


Oh, and you remember Grandpa's fruit trees? Here's my apple!
Addison's nectarine.


And Anna's Italian plum. All growing gangbusters!

Spring is finally here!
