The garden, Part 1

So recently I discovered how to fit two eight foot wood boards in my car that won't fit. I've been talking about starting a garden for the last year and Jeremy always said we can't fit the wood in the car. So I told Jeremy I was gonna order stuff online to be delivered to me because he wasn't helping me find a way and then boom! just like that the wood fit in our car. 

There are some days were Rae drives me crazy. I drive her crazy too because I am always saying no so it is fair... we drive each other crazy. So I thought the problem might be we don't have enough shared interests so I am trying to do more projects with her and the first idea was to get some seeds going and finally get that garden. We started some seeds in cups and most of them are just for fun and a few will make it to the garden. We are not experts we are just having fun. 



Here's Jeremy doing his part to keep his girls happy!


Rae makes up for Jeremy's lack of emotion. 


After we got all the dirt put in we started a row of carrots! When I asked Rae what she wanted to plant she said, "carrots and flowers!" So we have carrots in now and some flowers in the cups, we will plant more flowers for her in this little box I got her (that will be in part 2). I am trying to grow tomatoes and peppers (they are in the cups now too).




My sweaty sun boy! Can't plant carrots without my 21 lbs. of love on my back.  


Here are the cups with some little sprouts in them, I am aware that you probably shouldn't plant these flowers in cups.. again its just for fun. 


Rae has been helping me water every day and one day she spilled all of pepper #1 on the ground then tried to put it all back in (before there was a sprout). I thought that he would be a casualty but looks like hes pushing up the edge of the cup. woohoo Pepper #1! I think we can all learn a lesson from pepper #1 and that is if life has you all over the ground just wait till you get put back together and keep growing...... or something like that.
