Gardening

Yesterday my sister and I started our garden boxes. We have added mulch and will be adding manure then the seeds. We did three loads of mulch in the back of my van. We have three boxes made and started making a fourth. We are planning on planting corn, squash,beans, potatoes, tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, onion and melon.
This is the first time either of us have done a garden. I've very excited to be doing this with her.
We are doing it all at her house since she has the room for it and I don't. Our kids love going to get the wood and mulch. They are excited to see what we plant. I'm hoping that with them helping choose what goes into the garden that they will be more likely to eat the vegetables.
