Nearly two weeks ago a huge pile of dirt was dumped in my driveway.
After three full weeks of illnesses being passed around the house, we have finally started work on our garden. The garden will eventually house lots of veggie plants that I will undoubtedly kill, and hopefully some assorted berries that will survive my not-so-green thumb. My handy husband, with some help from the kiddos, is building two raised beds this season, with a third one planned for next year. We have a herd of deer that live in our woods and are always on the lookout for a new buffet, so we will do our best to keep them from eating everything.
We also planted tons of sunflower seeds in the plot where the vegetable garden used to be. I am seeing sprouts, but I'm not too hopeful because we are seeing some severe flooding this week and the bed was under water, and is still completely saturated. A positive side of the flooding is lots of puddles to splash in, plus the water that washed over the bridge left behind some sand perfect for drawing in!
The weather (aside from the torrential rain) has been on our side and we hope to start work on the dry (or not-so-dry with this weather) stream bed and sand pit later this week!
