The blank canvas we had to work with in early March
Everything was so bareAFTER...
We have come so far. This is how it looks today!
We put in an 8'x 8' vegetable garden 
Our grape vines and various flowers
The herb and squash garden
View from the back fence We moved into our house almost three years ago. Our first year we didn't do any planting because we wanted to see what had already been planted. As it turns out there wasn't much. Our second year we started small with a few vegetables and some flowers. We barely made a dent in the amount of work that needed to be done. This year we decided to start early and go strong. Every weekend since March we have spent our Saturdays building our little paradise. You can see in the pictures above how far we have come. As all home owners know the work is never ending, but we love what we have built so far and hope you all can come by and enjoy it with us. This year we put in an 8' x 8' raised vegetable garden. We have four types of tomatoes, corn, two types of onions, leeks, green beans, three types of peppers, and three types of lettuce. Our herb garden has strawberries, thyme, oregano, basil, sage, rosemary, cilantro, and so much more. We have also planted squash, watermelon, and zucchini. We have four varieties of grape vines and flowers galore. It's been hard work but a lot of fun too. It's so rewarding to plant something and watch it grow. We can't wait for you to see it in person.
