Our First Garden!

One of our dreams with having our own home was to start our very own garden. This has been an adventure to say the least! We went to Wasatch Garden's plant say on a rainy and windy Saturday morning. Milo was all cozied up in his snowsuit (thanks to daddy) and he enjoyed it for about 10 minutes. The rest of the time was spent crying until he fell asleep. Good times :) But we came out with TONS of plants.

Sadly to say, many of them died because it was still too cold and rainy to plant. So we had to start over on a few of them.

Ty built our garden boxes, filled them with our special dirt, and put the bark surrounding our boxes all by himself. I have been quite impressed! This picture is right after we planted all of our plants. I will need to post a picture of our garden now because everything is shooting up!

We started some beans from seed a few weeks after planting and they are already coming up!

And, of course, what is our garden without including Tyler's beloved bees. I think it's safe to say that Milo will be a bee loving kid!

As with anybody's first garden it is a learning experience. Just last night we found some terrible aphids all over 5 out of our 7 boxes. We have had to do our research and hope that we will be able to save our garden that we have worked so hard on! We look forward to the day that we become gardening experts :)
