We started seeds in a couple of tubs a few weeks before the last freeze, and they took off pretty quickly. It took us a few weeks to figure out where and what we wanted to build for the garden itself. We went with a raised bed for many reasons.
Transplanting day.
Week 1
The Peach tree!
Lemons....
And....oranges
Caleb is a frog fanatic, so Joshua had fun giving him this stone friend to "guard" the garden.
Week 2 (also added blackberry bushes along fence in back)
Week 3
And, maybe a peach this season!
Week 4
Tomatoes!!! Papa would be so proud. I've been trying to grow these crazy things for 7 years now. This is the first year that our beautiful plants with gorgeous flowers have actually born fruit. We hope to get to enjoy them before the squirrels do!
Broccoli, our first major harvest.

spraying Aminos on the broccoli,
and scarfing the broccoli :-)
Peach is getting bigger...
End of week 4 - 68 tomatoes and counting...
First flowers on our pepper plant.
Daddy wanted a strawberry patch too, so we planted those along with some raspberries in the back.
