Growing Together

Nothing warms my heart more then when all five of us are doing something together.  Sharing a common goal; working side-by-side.



In addition to our Uncle Ross flower garden we have decided to start a vegetable garden.  With the sandy soil it is necessary to build a raised bed.  I was surprised to learn how shallow the bed needs to be for most veggies--only a few inches! Ryan built a 6 ft by 3 ft plot using 4 by 4s. We are going to grow organically and maybe will start some composting.  Starting small,  we decided to grow: greenbeans (a family favorite), peppers, cherry tomatoes and roma tomatoes.  We will grow some herbs in pots as well.




We are starting the seeds in little cups, indoors and will transplant when they are established.
