First Day of Spring!

Spring is here! Okay so this week has been fabulous. I was so excited to get out this week and start planting my garden! We bought a nice tiller last year and only used it twice so It is time to pull it out and till, till, till. One problem, actually ran into a few. My good husband and also my good parents thought I should not be out running the tiller. Bless them they were just being careful on my baby and my behalf. But dang, I so badly just wanted to get out and do it myself. And I usually would have not listened and did it anyway because I am stubborn but I listened. Since Kevin was working and had prior commitments for almost every evening this past week, my Dad and Mom both told me they would do it. And they did. Mom came and tilled it up.
Thanks guys!
Also Thanks to Kevin's Dad! He came and fertilized our lawn. So nice.
Back to the garden. We have a lot of rocks. So Thursday night Kevin had time to till it again. He would till than rake the rocks up than till again. He is a little more on the perfectionist side than I. Third time around our tiller breaks. Yep, pretty brand new craftsman tiller. Broken. Great. So it delayed our mixing new soil in and planting until Saturday afternoon when Kevin got done from School and work!

My Boys working hard! Well not to worry. We did get a few things planted just in time for our spring party that night with the Bush Fam.

We or I should say Kevin planted Peas, Carrots, and Potatoes. Last year I did not plant potatoes so we will have to see how those turn out.


This is a picture of last years carrots and tomatoes. It was my first year ever with a garden. So I am hoping to improve each year. Also last year we did not use additives( if that's even what you call it) so this year is already off to a great start with some miracle grow and Kevin's and my parents prep of the soil and advice from Kevin's Dad too!

There is something so rewarding about planting a garden. Not only to have the food but to get out and do the work and see the progress is therapeutic and being outside always puts me in a good mood. I can't wait to see how it grows and to weed it! I can do that!
