Community Garden

We have tried, unsuccessfully, to grow veggies in our yard. It is too wooded and thus, we don't have enough sunlight for anything to grow. Plus, our soil is awful! So, this year we bought a plot in the Black Mountain community garden. Grady and Myles are so excited to get it started.

We began today by pulling weeds which turned into looking for bugs and buried treasure. Whatever makes them happy. I think they will have a great time harvesting veggies from our garden...yes, I am being optimistic! We will have a plethora of healthy vegetables growing in our small plot. Hopefully, I inherited a bit of my mom's green thumb.

Heading down to the garden with shiny new shovels in hand.

This is our plot. The one that has 2x4's surrounding it (also, the one covered in weeds).

The boys begin by throwing dirt all over each other, naturally.

Checking out our soil.

This is one happy gardener.

They decided to look for some buried treasure. The pink glove being their booty. I just can't get enough of their imaginations. Myles is just as imaginative as Grady. LOVE it!!

Loungin', after a hard days work. You can't really tell in this pic but they were FILTHY! It is amazing how dirty they can get.

On our way home, look what we saw running down our street....A coyote! Pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the black bears in our yard. They should be making an appearance soon.
