Our very first garden....now right away I need to tell you...all you gardeners out there tell me if I messed this whole thing up! I have had so much anxiety about doing this wrong I almost didn't post the pictures! We decided to do a 5x8 raised box. It was so easy! I already want to make another one right next to it. I want one for veggies and one for fruit! We worked on this ALOT last week! The kids all helped and it was really fun even though we were completely exhausted! (made me very grateful I don't do that kind of physical labor for a living!)
We bought a net to put around it to keep the birds out of the tomatoes and also to keep Bella out of it!!!

We planted a salsa garden with a few extra things. So we have cilantro, basil, garlic chives, oregano, strawberries, jalapenos, red & green peppers, 4 different kinds of tomatoes (better bush, better boy and roma) sweet onions, green onions, zucchini and squash
I made some cute labels for all of our stuff....did you doubt it? It was one of the first things I thought of when we started talking about a garden!
Look at that!!! We already have our first red strawberry, 2 of them actually...it's a big deal...we are going to pick them together when everyone gets home tonight!
I think one of jalapenos isn't going to make it...due tot he fact that when we came home from church on Sunday, Bella had dug it up and had it across the yard! She also dug 2 other holes! She is lucky to be alive....this is one of those things that makes me wonder why we thought it was a good idea to get a dog?!
The squash is coming up...these were planted from seeds! I can't believe how exciting it is to see a little green leaf come up out of the ground!

these are just the Pillsbury Grand Biscuits flattened out and formed over an upside down cupcake tray
so careful...I can totally trust him with the oven! It's great!
he LOVES to cut stuff! These tomatoes were perfectly diced! I love that little tongue...he is just concentrating so hard!
even though he doesn't like cheese he is happy to grate it!
the rest of the toppings
ready to dish up!!
