Spring Garden

It is officially Spring and for teachers everywhere that means one thing...Spring Break!! Mine started last Friday and I am so excited to have this time off to relax and get things done that I have needed to do. One thing on my list was planting my first vegetable garden.

I have wanted to plant one for a while now, but never really got serious about it. There was an empty space in my backyard, where a rose garden use to be, that would be perfect for a vegetable garden. I went to Lowe's on Saturday and got the soil, plants, and other things I needed. It turned out to be the perfect day for planting. The weather was so beautiful!

My dad helped me by tilling the soil-I tried, but it is harder than it looks! He also took out the old wood that was rotting and replaced it with new wood.

I planted cucumbers, tomatoes, yellow squash, sweet peppers, one strawberry plant, and sweet basil. I think it turned out beautiful. Now comes the watering, waiting, and praying that the harvest will come!
