Garden, Flowers, and Grey

Since Erica posted about her garden then I guess it's our turn! Ours is just a little smaller...haha. Last year was our first year with our garden so we didn't really know what to expect, but we ended up having really good luck! So this year all we had to do to get started was to add a little bit of new compost and buy new seed. Our first round of seeds just started coming up! So far we have planted carrots, basil, beets!, radishes, sugar snap peas, 3 types of lettuce, broccoli, basil, cherry tomato plants, and spinach. Below are some pics of the garden progress, as well as some of our flowers, and of course Grey dog.
