Presenting, the Vegetables. Finally.

It's official we have a vegetable garden! Mitch built me a pretty garden box. I filled it up with a ton of dirt and Nate dug the holes for the plants. Nate's friend came over and all the kids played in the sprinkler while I worked. We stopped for some snacks at our new picnic table Nana found us. We even ate our dinner al fresco. It was a beautiful day. We had a wonderful time. 
We planted cucumbers, bell peppers, roma, cherry, and better boy tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, basil, garden beans, kale, broccoli and lettuce. 
I think I will convince Mitch to build me another one tomorrow because I ran out of room. We still have pumpkin (fingers crossed), cantelope, jalapeño, spinach, and probably some more tomatoes. Nate and I are super excited. I hope they survive. The plants were beautiful two weeks ago, but we weren't able to plant them when should have. The night frost lasted three weeks later than usual. So hopefully out pitiful plants will come back and be very bountiful!
