Our Newest Hobby...

When we redid our backyard last summer we built an area that would someday house a garden. Well we got lazy and never did anything with it until a couple months ago because my Mom finally helped us get it started.

So now we totally love gardening and keep adding plants to it. We now have every color pepper, watermelon, 2 strawberry plants, 2 tomatos, and a ton of squash. We added a gate to keep Brawny out so he doesn't eat all our vegetables.

Since we are on a planting spree we decided that the plants in our front yard had to go. They keep growing and getting more in the way plus the ants love them, We were happy to see them go! (oh and I have no clue what I'm doing in this picture...So just ignore me)
Now we have colorful and ant free flowers that we just love! I had to get my two favorite guys in the picture :)
A close up. So much nicer!

love it-we love our garden too!!!! I would love to know what you were doing in that picture though. HaHa!!!
How much was that fence you guys put around your garden? We need to put one around ours so Kaelyn will stop picking all of our strawberries and tomatoes, but Paul said they are all really expensive!

Yay you! We have plenty of space for a garden but absolutely no interest in planting one... Want to come up & plant one for us?!? :) Love the new flowers!

Jill we spent $25. We like it because you don't have to build it you just stick it in the ground.
