Sowing our seeds

I'm so excited to report that we finished planting our very first vegetable garden this weekend. I've always loved hearing stories from Jason and Pa about the wonderful gardens they both had growing up. Stories of Grammy Wetzel growing their own tomatoes and then canning them for spaghetti sauce or stories of Granny Giltner canning her own berries for jam. In fact just yesterday Pa was telling me how neat it was as a child to have his very own row of vegetables he was in charge of from the planting to the harvesting.

Jason prepared several really neat raised beds in the backyard and a wonderful tilled patch out at the land and we are going to give it a go. Cucumbers, peppers, carrots, peas, tomatoes, and corn. Bryson had a ball digging in the dirt and helping us map out each row. Here are a few pics to get us going. I hope to follow up with more in the next few weeks as our garden starts to HOPEFULLY grow.  :)
