Vegetable Garden

Our big spring project was creating a raised garden bed so we could grow vegetables. Last year, our first attempt at gardening did not go as well as we hoped so after some research, Scott bought supplies and spent an entire weekend building the bed. We filled it with the right combination of compost, mulch and soil before we planted our veggies. The kids loved helping out every step of the way!
