How does your garden grow?

We are SO excited to have a garden this year. We have had a few small tomato and cucumber plants the last two summers so with the help of my parents, we built a large one to start this year. It's about five feet out from the fence and 32 feet wide. We will have strawberries, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, carrots, peas, onions, zucchini, peppers, and spaghetti squash. YUM!! Aiden has been a great helper and loves to do everything Tyson does. I'm sure he'll be a great helper when it's time to harvest everything!
Pre-planting
Strawberries in.
Daddy's little helper. I love this picture of my boys so hard at work.
Mixing the mulch and dirt and fertilizer (or whatever it was). Aiden was more than happy to dig in and get his hands dirty.
After planting. We still have to put in the tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and squash when it's warmer, but the cucumbers, radishes, and peas have already started growing! It makes me so excited every time I go out to water and see a new green thing popping out of the dirt!
Now we just have to wait and see how everything will grow.  Tyson is going to put drip on it so we don't have to worry about watering everyday and hopefully they'll do really well!!
